WELCOME TO MY BLOG

Thank you for visiting my blog.  I sometimes don’t have time to post here everything that I send to my school reform email list, so if you want to receive my regular (approximately every other day) email updates, please email me at WTilson at tilsonfunds.com.

For more about me and links to my favorite articles, posts and videos on education reform, see my School Reform Resource Page at www.arightdenied.org, in particular my Powerpoint presentation entitled A Right Denied: The Critical Need for Genuine School Reform, which is posted at www.arightdenied.org/presentation-slides

The idea for this came to me after watching An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore's documentary about global warming.  After seeing it, I thought to myself, "That's exactly what school reformers need as well!"  My presentation is meant to be a collection of data and arguments that forcefully advocates for an urgent school reform agenda.  It was made into a documentary in 2010 that you can watch at: https://vimeo.com/45331195 (this is the full-length 83-minute version; a shorter 55-minute version is posted at: https://vimeo.com/44132868; also, the two-minute trailer is at www.arightdenied.org). I did an interview about it with CNBC’s Maria Bartiromo: http://video.cnbc.com/gallery/?video=1507057055&play=1
