As a young educator, I participated in nonprofit teacher training program where it was drilled into us that class size didn't matter, that students' ability to learn was dependent entirely on our abilities and techniques as educators #FairContractNow #PutItInWriting 
The program was funded by the biggest names in the private sector, at the height of the charter school push. It's rhetoric was devoted to convincing us that the culpability for the disfunction in public ed. lay with students and teachers #FairContractNow #PutItInWriting
This rhetoric was toxic, not just because when we failed in many of our efforts as inexperienced educators we were made to blame ourselves and our students, but also because we were trained to look away from the roots of inequity in public ed. #PutItInWriting #FairContractNow
