The Weekend with Fred. � Fred Klonsky's blog

The Wall. � Fred Klonsky's blog

Sunday links.


School Tech Connect explains tenure and seniority. I have news for all the young people barking about the unfairness of seniority– you’re going to spend the majority of your life disagreeing with your current opinion. And I’ve got news for you teachers with a little private list of which colleagues are incompetent– you’re on a few lists, too, around the building.
Death threats against the economics columnist, Paul Krugman, of the NY Times? I’d say that is going a little over the top on the issue of deficits. That isn’t a tea party. That’s a lynch mob.

Four months go by. Six months go by. A toddler becomes a little boy. A little girl suddenly seems wiser than you expected.
