A few notes:

• Renee Moore is a rebel with a cause. She’ll teach her kids whether third party vendors like it or not. Right up our alley, right? [TeachMoore]
• If you only know the 1/2 of what the BP oil disaster means in the grand scheme of things, you’re about to know more than that. [The Tonka Report]
• Planning to boycott Arizona business? Well you’re in good company. Check the list here. [AZCentral]
• You know Arne Duncan doesn’t care about we have to say about education. Even when a group of teachers try to organize around having a dialogue about education, he persists in evasive maneuvers. They must think we’re the other t-word. [The Perimeter Primate]
• Leave me alone. Or else I can’t be creative. So says Leo Babauta. [ZenHabits]
• File this under: How To Rebel Against Too Much Test Taking. Well done, kids. [Huffington Post]
