As a proud member of the American Federation of Teachers, I believe in the union’s old slogan: democracy in education, education for democracy.
“Il ne faut jamais perdre de vue quel est le but de l’instruction publique. Il s’agit de former non des ouvriers pour la fabrique ou des comptables pour le magasin, mais des citoyens pour la société.”
