What is the Rouge forum?

Rouge Forum was formally organized in 1998 at Wayne State University in Michigan. According to the Rouge Forum website, the forum is an activist group composed of "students of teachers and parents looking for a democratic society", through non -optical schools that claim to support critical thinking and freedom to question authority and status quo. Forum members believe that class and capitalist societies, where there are few rich and many poor, are kept above water, as the government regulates schools, and gently trains children to accept what the Classicist, an imperialist, war society. Rouge forum defends activism and democratic, inclusive schools, against what he calls "high bets" in schools, against the fact that no child has left the law and against wars, racism, sexism, authoritarian societies and other similar problems. The forum is produced twice by an annual digital newsletter and organizes Annual conferences.

Rouge forum members come from all educational levels and backgrounds. They believe that because the farm has been focused on society in the past, schools should now play the same role. Teachers and schools are responsible for education of children in a way that supports the same, more open and more democratic society in their opinion. In the forum, teaching and learning should be in a democratic, inclusive community school where everyone is welcome and appreciated, a mirror and a swivel point for the overall social change and justice. Social changes include building a community that is inclusive, where people have the same rights, and understanding "Injuries of one is an injury to all."

The company that the forum assumes is open to questioning without fear of retaliation. They try to connect people across all socially designed borders, including Boundaries race, gender, communities, trade unions and religion. Rouge forum encourages members of activism at local level to bring hereThat change.

Especially forum Rouge speaks against standard testing ordered in public schools. Members claim that such testing does not measure actual learning; Instead, it strengthens the status quo and social divisions. The forum claims that test results suggest that most schools marked as failure tend to be in districts with fewer resources, rural areas and internal cities, and where most teachers would not teach. According to the Rouge Forum forum, schools that are doing well on tests with a high share, in areas that are mostly white and higher classes, with a lot of sources and that attract the best teachers. Rouge forum members remain in touch with each other and discussed ways to promote their agenda through the newsletter twice a year, the Rouge forum website and Annual Conference.
