DID YOU KNOW?

The Pennsylvania state constitution mandates that students be provided witha thorough and efficient system of public education.

The state code requires that the curriculum in schools include the instructionof art, music, dance, and theater, as well as comprehensive and integratedK-12 student services and, in particular, guidance counseling services.

B#$'($$#)* !)3#' CSE

In Our Schools Are Not for Sale,MMP relied on students, teachers, and parents toportray one another:

As a parent, I really feel as though if it wasnt for them [the teachers], ourchildren wouldnt be where they are at today. If our children dont have books,they buy them. If our children dont have pencils and supplies, they buy them.

- a parent about teachers

We want an education. We want to be the doctor whohelps you. We want to be the fireman who comes andrescues you from the fire. You know, we want to makethis place a better place.

- a student about students

You know what brought tears to my eyes to see all the kids. They got thislittle picture like the kids in our neighborhood they dont care about going toschool. No! They want to be educated so they can be somebody in life.

- a parent about students

We need our voices to be heard. We are citizenswho have dreams. We are the future.

- a student talking to students

How have you seen other media portraying students, teachers, and

their parents? How do peoples opinions about teachers, students

and parents affect the fight for public schools?
