NYC Educator: Moving Ever Onward

NYC Educator: Moving Ever Onward

Moving Ever Onward

Well, Gotham Schools was down for some time this morning. This is an inconvenience for the busy blogger looking to see what education articles are up, as well as whatever crap the NY Post wishes to masquerade as news.

Last night's wrap-up held some doozies. There was a link to an education booklist, headed up by anti-teacher propagandist Steve Brill. A piece on the further adventures of TFA. Also, there was a link to yet another piece by Ruben Brosbe. Clearly it isn't enough for Gotham to print whatever baseless nonsense Mr. Brosbe posts on their page, but it's also necessary to direct us to more of it elsewhere. On behalf of teachers everywhere, thank you Gotham Schools.

The most striking of the links yesterday was one about a teacher offering to work for free. This, no doubt, constitutes the virtual wet dream of "reformers." What more could they ask for? Were this to become a trend, they could give up all their political manipulation, save billions in "charitable" contributions, and let schools be.
