Michelle Setzer Exposes American Public Education

Jan 19, 2010 6:20 PM

Michelle Setzer teaches kindergarten at C.E. Dingle Elementary School in Woodland, CA.. She’s a remarkable person. She taught my daughter Ella’s class of 25+ rowdy kids while with child and never showed anything less than 100% enthusiasm to be doing so. She is currently teaching my son. We hope to get Poppy into her class in 2015 ... or would that be 2016?

At any rate, it turns out she is even more remarkable than we may have initially thought. She started blogging about the inner-workings of the American Public School system last month, with the aim of inspiring citizens to push for reform. The best part is that she’s doing this the scientific way—by publishing statistical data and factual information.

If you didn’t already know, the bureaucracy of the American Public School system makes Innotech look like a well oiled machine. If exposing abuse with facts and stats gets you revved up, this is going to be a bottomless pit of inspiration.
