Eye Opening

This is a "Must Listen" audiocast featuring, "I'm getting too old for this shit" Danny Glover, of Lethal Weapon fame. He and Steve Zeltzer eloquently discuss the facts behind charter schools, their creation, and their true purpose.


For those not familiar, in California since 1992, charter schools were implemented following the win in Minnesota who wrote the first charter school law in the United States in 1991.


Glover and Seltzer discuss charter schools in California and other parts in the United States and the results from their implementation.


They discuss the effects on the children, the teachers, and the unions.


They also discuss the racism behind them and the millions of millions of dollars that drive them.


My favorite quote comes around 14:25, when Mr. Glover discusses teachers and the fact that we are being scapegoated and "...like teachers are at fault for that..." referring to students not learning.


You have got to listen if you're a teacher or love a teacher!

Happy listening!
