If you missed yesterday's "Meet The Press", do check out the clips below from this kick-off program for NBC's intensive three day "Education Nation"with panelists Sec'y of Education Arne Duncan, AFT head Randi Weingarten, DC school chancellor Michelle Rhee and from the Detroit school system, Robert Bobb.

Gregory closed program with a call to everyone in the community, even those without children in the school system, to volunteer at local public school. Visit and ask how to help.

This begs the question, can schools handle volunteers? Would volunteers be welcomed? Or, is the same ole' "bake sale" mentality . . .

Moderator David Gregory later tweeted in his take-away that education reform has to be national to be effective.

More TK.

Education Reform has been long overdue and teachers have done their best in the midst of arguments for the past ten years. Thank you for listening to the needs of our children who are the future of our nation:)
