A Letter to Secretary Arne Duncan Re: the 2010 NAEP Civics Report Card
Dear Secretary Duncan,
(Again, is Arne okay? We tend to be informal here at the Neighborhood, so we hope you don’t mind.)
How’s it going, big guy? Still keeping up that jump shot? I’m just assuming since you seem to be more of a perimeter player than someone who dominates the paint…
…which is a lot like your current job as Secretary of Education (just kidding, I think).
Anyway, I’d like to start out by offering condolences. It wasn’t easy being taken to the woodshed for your alleged insincerity on Teacher Appreciation Day—especially from my friend Sabrina Stevens Shupe. I know, I know: your press flunky felt that the “broader teaching community” was in agreement with you.
