Game On has been called a front group for the teachers unions. We’re not. We are proud to have many teachers on the Game On team, but the majority of our leadership group and many of our greater community team members are parents and not teachers. We just understand that our teachers are an absolutely essential part of making Kansas schools great and helping Kansas children reach their potentials, and we’ve been extremely disappointed by the rhetoric and policy in Topeka that seem to be doing much more harm than good when it comes to Kansas student and teacher performance. We’re sharing this because it resonated with us and we hope it does with you, whether you’re a parent, or a teacher, or neither.
