Debunking the Media Myths

Our Goal: The purpose of this section is to offer another perspective to the one-sided debate in our most popular RI papers, magazines, TV, Internet, etc. As anyone knows there are many sides to every story, yet only one side usually gets presented by our media. We hope to provide the resources and arguments you need to endure and combat the constant teacher bashing that appears so frequently in our media. Read with an open mind. *Understand that this section is a work in progress. More pages and content will be added over time. If you have a suggestion or something you would like to post to help this effort, please send an EMAIL.
