Eggs or Eggheads: Which does the U.S. Economy Really Need?
"What, for instance, is the narrative of children in our society? -- At present, it seems, children are put on an assembly line, quite early in their lives, and 'managed' toward economic goals of production and income. Their performance will be 'tested' regularly along the way as the measurable 'output' of the education system."
Quote by William Greider, a nationally renowned reporter and PBS documentarian. Article by Michael T. Marton, Research Analyst for the Arizona School Boards Association. This article ran in their 2009 Winter Journal.

www.StopNationalStandards.org Debuts
Creator and Developer, Susan Ohanian, July 20th, 2009
"We are a community of people who have come together to fight against the imposition of National Standards. We wage this fight because we know that when all children must learn the same thing, many don't learn much. And we know that when children are forced to Race to the Top of a pile of standards, many fall along the way."

The Bubble Over Network
"It's time for bubble tests to be over. Instead, education must bubble over with the strengths, interests, and personality of each student. Learning must bubble over with life. Please become a part of this network working to create an education that focuses on students as people not numbers." Wade Tillett
