Act Now

“…a big standing ovation for Tom Chapin for his humorous and poignant reminder that the human experience is VERY big, and exposure to the arts is an important part of that experience.”
-We Are Teachers

"...the mania behind teaching to the test is real.”
-Music For All

"And while the lyrics do elicit a chuckle, it actually makes BoardBuzz feel like crying. Chapin is right, school boards’ hands are often tied when dealing with the requirements of NCLB.”
-NSBA Board Buzz

“The song should be required listening for all of our federal and state legislators.”
-Boston Teacher's Union
