Teach by day, clean by evening, a quick nap, and start all over again. Lydia old girl, I'm afraid it's spelled serf. Clearly you are the product of a public school education. Yet, that doesn't render you unfit for service by any means, so chin up. I say, that’s a smashing good notion. Teach by day, clean by evening, a quick nap, and start all over again.

Lydia old girl,

I’m afraid it’s spelled serf. Clearly you are the product of a public school education. Yet, that doesn’t render you unfit for service by any means, so chin up.

Teachers can keep the school clean when the kids go home. Think of the money that will be saved. How about doing away with custodians? Teachers can keep the school clean when the kids go home.

I approve heartily, of course, but I think we can do better. KIPP does actually issue paychecks, which are another inconvenience. Workers are supposed to work, are they not? I know when you're mayor we'll ratchet it up a bit, but for Joel to enlist a serf is truly a move toward the glory days. Chatty old boy,

Serfs working double shifts, weekends, holidays, sleeping in the basement. We could have entire schools run like that. Even thought of a catchy name for them: How does “KIPP” strike you? Cheerio!
