The moment has arrived...
We'll keep this short and sweet.
Resounding Books is, today officially announcing the launch of its project-based, citizen-led initiative...
"COUNTERACT [false] ACCOUNTABILITY"
Our five judges are ready to go.
The initiative guidelines have been published on their own page: http:resoundingbooks.org/counteract/
And Resounding Books is now accepting project submissions from any individual, informal group of concerned citizens, or local grassroots organization that wishes so send us a project idea.
In fact, COUNTERACT [false] ACCOUNTABILITY is all about the average citizen getting to make an impact by placing a whole bunch of sticks in the giant reform machine. A host of Davids against a Goliath.
[False] accountability impacts everyone--public schoolers, private schoolers, homeschoolers, students, parents, teachers, taxpayers. It’s time to start ensuring that so-called education reformers can’t play their crooked word games anymore.
Let's make the difference...us, the engaged, informed people on the ground who care about true education, the well-being of students, the rights of parents, the voices of teachers, the wise use of public funds, and honesty in public policy and discourse.
We look forward to receiving your proposals for projects aimed at raising public awareness of the gap between what most people assume “accountability” means and what so-called education reformers actually intend by the term.

Also, see our recent editorial in Western Free Press, which further highlights some of the crucial reasons for this initiative.
