Don't Forget Ed (Education, That Is)

Sleepy Hollow High School Students and Faculty Take Part in College Board Public Service Announcement.

 

The College Board, a not-for-profit membership organization committed to excellence and equity in education and connecting students to college success and opportunity, visited to film a segment for their public service announcement entitled, “Don’t Forget Ed.”

"Don't Forget Ed" is a national movement that seeks to elevate the topic of education inthe presidential campaign. The national, grassroots effort will provide students and others concerned about education a vehicle to press for education to be a priority during the political contest of 2012. “Don't Forget Ed” officially launches in June and will continue through Election Day in November.

Featured in the public service announcement are Sleepy Hollow High School’s facilities, students, and faculty. Teachers Leila Madani, Jason Choi, and Carlos Matute were interviewed for the PSA along with Assistant Principal Anthony Baxter.

The sitting fee paid to Sleepy Hollow High School by the College Board will be used to help underwrite next year’s College Tour for Sleepy Hollow High School’s students.

Please visit the following website to stay informed, participate, and view the “Don’t Forget Ed” public service announcement here http://dontforgeted.collegeboard.org/ or in the YouTube video attached to the article.

A big part of the problem is that the teachers' expectations about what supplies are necessary haveRead More become so extreme. When my kids were in school in Tarrytown, we would get a list at the beginning of every school year of the supplies we needed to buy. The parents were asked to buy a separate looseleaf binder for every single class our kids were taking and, for some classes, they asked for a looseleaf AND a spiral notebook. When I was in school, each kid had ONE looseleaf and we separated classes with dividers. Having SIX or seven loose leafs adds to backpack weight and costs a lot of money. My kids supply bills were often close to $100 apiece. The teachers have bought into this idea that all of these supplies are necessary and they are not. I'm not surprised that Staples is offering "rewards programs." Their advertising and marketing efforts have convinced the teachers that you must have a package of 12 red correcting pens, per child.
