Thinking about Teacher Appreciation Day.

Obama has decided to declare this week National Charter School Week.
The guy sure knows how to appreciate teachers. I haven’t felt so appreciated since he announced support for firing all the union teachers in Central Falls, Rhode Island.
There’s a joke going around Facebook: Arne Duncan supports same-sex marriage if you can find a way to test it.
Another joke from professor Mark Naison: Teacher Appreciation Week in the current national climate is like having Deer Appreciation Week during hunting season.
Still another Facebook project: people are posting the name of a teacher that mattered to them.
