The ASCD Inservice blog offers educators five reasons why educators should vote, and they bear repeating.  I quote them directly:

1. Your vote is uniquely informed by the needs of the hundreds, maybe thousands, of students you have touched. Give them a voice in this election.
2. A vote for education is a vote for the economy, national security, and the environment. 
3. Ensuring that our children are healthy, safe, engaged, supported, and challenged requires the commitment of policymakers. Schools alone cannot accomplish this task.
4. By voting, you lead by example and model for your students how to be a responsible and civically engaged citizen.
5. The next president and Congress will decide the course of No Child Left Behind.
