A word or two about this Blog site:

I've resisted creating my own place here in cyberspace for some time. There are many brilliant, articulate people writing about what's going on in public education. Mountains of data and knowledge that expose the "education reform" movement as neither can be found all over the internet. I highly recommend you check out dianeravitch.com or curmudgucation.blogspot.com, for starters.

I would like to use this site as a way to rant a little and to pose my own questions, as issues in my daily teaching life impel me to rant and I do like to ask questions. And my friends and family may have grown weary of me filling their inboxes. I also like to muse about possible answers, and hope I will be heard in cyberspace by at least a few interested readers.

Having said that, I seek communication in writing that moves the conversation forward, even towards actionable results. I know I can't control writers I've never met and never will meet, but if you choose to comment, I encourage you to help us understand your point of view. Snark is welcomed. Rudeness is not.

Thanks for reading!

GOVERNOR CUOMO IS NO FRIEND OF PUBLIC EDUCATION

Wait. 
Stop. 
Hold the phone!

 Did Governor Cuomo really just say "The problem is the State Education Department, which is the Board of Regents. It did a terrible job in implementing Common Core?"

He went on to say the Board of Regents must "change their perspective and their level of competence."  

 And then had the audacity to say "They lost the faith and trust of the parents of this state, and they're going to have to remedy that.  It's not that the parents are irrational.  The parents are rational.  The system was implemented poorly and it did a lot of harm."

 Seriously? 

 I don't even know where to begin...
