He was screaming for dear life, you know . Once i got around the front and saw it was my friend freddie gray, i was like, ok, it is on. So i started recording. Amy as Six Baltimore Police officers face charges in the death of freddie gray, we will speak with kevin moore, the baltimore man who filmed gray being violently arrested and thrown into the back of a police van. The time gray left the van, his spine was 80 severed at the neck. Then to seattle where schools are closed for a fifth day as teachers continue their first strike in 30 years. We will speak to socialist City Council Member Kshama Sawant and Public School teacher Jesse Hagopian.

Amy and then to bolivia. Very interestthe of capitalism. [inaudible] amy for the past decade,
Obviously it is a distract your question. Just eliminate that of the bad but the first two are plausible. Either make sense if you are confused just google them and they will make more sense charlie. In all seriousness everybody in this room has taken a standardized test at one point or another in your life. They have been around a long time but it seems were living in a moment where the stakes attached to them have never been higher. Not only the standardized tests determine a childs future but also the future of the teacher determine the future of principals and administrators and the guidance counselor the gym and music and art teacher. Though whole school could be bound up with the results of a test for a whole district. That trends to raising the stakes higher and higher, a kid you hear me . And has finally been confronted by a movement figure refers, 1964 College Students sat in us as a result of direct action to spark a whole new era of the Civilrights Movement of mass civil dis
Next, Jesse Hagopian, editor of more than a score, and history teacher Garfield High School in seattle, washington, takes a look at standardized testing. Thank you.

[laughter] b, to protect Jesse Hagopian from future pepper spray incident last night c to talk to pineapple or d to celebrate the launch of this book more than a score the new uprising against highstakes testing. Now obviously c is a distractor question. Theres nothing relevant. Just eliminate that one right off the bat but a and b are plausible. Either those make sense bu

Lots of books come out on the civil war but not many of them are as good as his book rebel yell. Of all of possible people to be scheduled up against i find that a little daunting coin. Thank you for being here. Is event must be full. Second i thank my host j. Ford was my host last night, took me to a wonderful dinner, the only possible qualm i have with that is took me after the authors reception, it was very late and was the pink house. They brought me a piece of fish that is bigger than a plate, the tailstock out on one end and there was so much food that i am stuff and i figure i have to speak. The only wise than i did was liquor too. I turned down the wine and liquor and dime stuff from that food. I was not so lucky at lunch. I had a wonderful pleasure of you probably know him. A wonderful daughter and couldnt restrain on of liquor, not being there with sunny.
Its unlikely to be valid in terms of what its trying to do. I do believe there is ability. Parents who come into kindergarten, when you have a child they always say children will develop at their own weight and age. Whats important is that theyre thriving and happy and then all the sudden that rhetoric comes to a halt and if you dont learn to read by third grade youre doomed forever and wont ever go to college.
