Protests At Apex School – Sign: Teachers Have No Union

Posted on May 21, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

children in this manner is appropriate. It’s not. I wonder what would happen if a bunch of moms started protesting Common Core in front of the school? Would that be appropriate too?
Today in Apex, one such protest happened (tweet below). Note one of the signs “NC has no tchrs. Union.” Those poor tchrs. No union.

Is Roy Cooper An NCAE Rep or NC AG?

Posted on May 19, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

Boy, someone sure is campaigning for Governor early. It’s almost as if he doesn’t have a job already or something…Is he trying to avoid lying his way into a new office?

Posted on May 10, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

Yesterday I reported on Olde Providence Elementary using their school’s front display sign to push teacher pay as well as sending home letters with students there on the topic calling for ‘action’ by parents.

Another parent has forwarded me an email from the Olde Providence PTA which further pushes parents to act on teacher pay. The letter includes links to legislator emails and a template.
