Bravo, Wisconsin!
I say, this is encouraging, a breath of fresh air if ever there’s been one. Finally, a governor has taken action against the odious ruffians who always go on about wanting more money. Now that the tax burden has finally … Continue reading

Not Enough
For the love of Smedley, it’s time to dispense with these mamby-pamby school turnaround schemes. Fire half the staff? Replace principals? Pish posh. When a school is closed, it needs to be demolished, with extreme prejudice if at all possible. … Continue reading
A Grand Week
I say, it’s delightful to see Bill Gates addressing one of those awful teacher unions. They’ve finally seen the light and decided to do as they’re told. Personally, I couldn’t be more delighted. It’s about time we placed regulations to … Continue reading
Bravo for the State Senate
I say, it’s high time we stopped tossing about cash on these little urchins. Give them the absolute minimum, show them how to be good little workers, and they’ll be faithful servants for as long as they’re needed. It’s hard … Continue reading
What Rot
I say, when I read things like this on the internets, they go right up my nose. What sort of bounder publishes embarrassing photos of Mikey like that one? Not only that, but this chap is outright disrespectful not only … Continue reading

A Voice of Reason
I say, these internets are a great source of inspiration. Why just today I was perusing the Gotham Schools blog thingie, and I found a parent willing to speak up against the involvement of parents. The chap called himself “Dissenter,” … Continue reading

Excellent
There’s a new article over at the excellent publication, The New York Daily News. I don’t often peruse this particular publication, as it pertains primarly to pictorial postulations, but this just pops with peppery punch. One of Mikey’s new principals … Continue reading

Deep Disappointment
That’s what I feel as I stroll the streets today and see all the urchins lollygagging about. There’s simply no reason for that, and once we open the Smellington Academy they’ll know what it means to get a job done. … Continue reading

Bravo, Chaps
I say, the folks at Gotham Schools are providing an excellent forum for those who’d speak reason. Look here, and here, for some excellent defenses of the great work Mikey and Joel are doing. Hip, hip, hooray to those who … Continue reading

A Smashing Notion
Gad, it’s been so long since I’ve read something quite so inspirational as this piece in the National Review. Let’s not have this upstart new president tossing away precious tax dollars on education. It’s quite reasonable to determine that spending … Continue reading

Reasons to Be Thankful
This is the time of year when one needs to reflect on one’s blessings. There are, of course, the things one takes for granted, like the trust fund, the stock portfolio, and the real-estate holdings, but at this time, one … Continue reading

What Is the Meaning of This?
Lately, I’ve been hearing a lot of brouhaha over James Liebman. Now let me state uncategorically that Jimmy is a fine man, just bully, and he’s done a lot to make sure New York City gets just what he deserves. … Continue reading

Hip Hip Hooray
And a large round of “attaboy” to fellow billionaire Patrick Byrne, chief executive of Overstock.com. After the voucher measure he financed went down to ignominious defeat, he called the referendum a state IQ test that the voters failed. Bravo, Patty … Continue reading
