REDU HOMEROOM.

homeroom_invite_reg

Ever since I learned about the reality of our public school system here in America, I’ve been diligently working towards helping to find solutions. In short, the whole thing is an atrocity. Try and get yourself to see “Waiting For Superman“. It’s a documentary made by Davids Guggenheim who did “An Inconvenient Truth” last year. It’s really a wake up for all of us…especially people like me, who was brought and raised in the public school system. If you have kids…or are planning to have kids, you need to watch this film.
Also, I’ve been seriously addicted to DonorsChoose.org. The non-profit site allows you to bypass the corrupt school system and teachers unions and help real teachers in real classrooms teaching real kids. It’s an amazing site and it makes helping so easy.
REDU is the initiative: REthink, REform and REbuild public education. And next week at Reed Space, we are hosting a gathering, art exhibition and fund raiser for all of this titled “REDU HOMEROOM“. Think of it as an art show at Reed Space but all the proceeds from the sales of art, tees, posters and accessories going towards DonorsChoose.org. We all need to just get together and share ideas. I’m happy that I can simply provide a platform.
The artist roster isn’t too shabby either. The show will feature works by Scott Campbell, Jose Parla, Neck Face, Luis Gispert and Lucien Marc-Smith.
Opening Reception: Tuesday, November 9th, 2010
8pm–11pm

アメリカの公立学校制度の現実を知って以来、なんらかの解決策を見つけるためにまじめに模索していました。簡潔に言うと、残虐です。できれば「Waiting for Superman」を見てください。去年「An Inconvenient Truth(不都合な真実)」を監督したDavid Guggenheimのドキュメンタリーです。目の覚めるような映画です...得に僕のように、公立学校で育った人にとっては。子供を持っている人や子供を産む予定の人はこの映画を見なくてはいけないと思います。
REDUはイニシアチブを取ります:公立教育を考え直す、改革する、再建する。来週Reed Spaceで「REDU HOMEROOM」という集まり、アート展とファンドレイザーを主催します。Reed Spaceで開催されるアートショーですが、アート作品、Tシャツ、ポスターアクセサリーの全ての収益はDonorsChoose.orgに寄付されます。みんな集まって、アイディアを出し合うことが必要です。その場を提供できるだけでも嬉しいです。
参加するアーティストもなかなかですよ。このショーはScott Campbell、Jose Parla、Neck Face、Luis GispertとLucien Marc-Smithの作品が並びます。
オープニングレセプション:2010年11月9日(火)

    What a great cause! I never knew all this was going on but I’m glad Reed Space is doing something about it and giving back.

    Thanks!
