NYC Educator: Even Ed. "Reformers" Gotta Serve Somebody:



Even Ed. "Reformers" Gotta Serve Somebody

Based on the song by Bob Dylan...


You may be head of Kipps or Success Academies
You may counsel out kids and keep entry fees
You may have a padded cell to suspend kids with habits
You may be Joel Klein with a stash of Amplify tablets
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed
You’re gonna have to serve somebody
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody
You might be a computer geek, making millions of bucks
You might give grants and stipends for curriculum that sucks
You may be a hedge-fund manager or even a diva
They may call you Bee Eater or they may call you Eva
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed
You’re gonna have to serve somebody
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody
You may be a state regent, you might be John B. King
You may set the cut scores to really, really sting
You may teach kids the Core, you may teach kids to fail
You may spare your kids in private school before sending them onto Yale
