NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND?
Bring back the Joy

This anthology of songs was collected from folksingers, writers, and teachers from around the country to literally "give voice" to the thoughts and concerns sweeping education in America over the effects of "No Child Left Behind" on our schools.

Songs range from professional musicians such as George Grove (Kingston Trio), Tom Chapin, Stuart Stotts, Skip Jones, and David HB Drake, and performing the writings of teachers, "Dangerous Folk" with Julie Thompson, David HB Drake and Cap Lee. This is a must for teachers everywhere!

Dangerous Folk will tour to educational conferences and events nationally to perform these songs live! Contact Organic Arts Ltd. at wi-sing@execpc.com for information.

Oh my!

After hearing excerpts on the CD Baby website I bought two copies, one for me and one for a friend. There are some songs on this CD that caused me to laugh so hard I nearly had to pull my car over. Thanks for bringing some levity to this crazy time period in educational history!

I use this marvelous protest music to inspire aspiring teachers.
author: Don Perl

I have even translated one of the songs, "What did you learn in school today," into Spanish, have read it at a poetry forum, and it appears on our website at www.thecbe.org

Great response to the most horrible federal take over of an American and local institution ever. We are the wimps they have taken us for if we don't stand up for our children. I would like to gather all those who wrote it and those who are listening to it and make a grand march on Washington. We shall over come comes to mind.email me if you want to go.margarettmartin@rdrive3,com
