At some point, Denneisha (on the right) dubbed our mural "No Tile Left Behind." All educators and many people know about the No Child Left Behind Act, the restrictions and requisite testing (which leads to teaching to the test, not teaching for knowledge), the lack of funding, the demands that really don't do much to improve education.
So this quick-witted 13 year old said to me one day, "You know, we need to call this No Tile Left Behind." We got a good laugh out of that. And it became our catch phrase.
No Tile Left Behind.
