To All the Blogs I've Read Before

A Satirical Parody — sung to the tune of "To All the Girls I've Loved Before"



To all the blogs I've read before
That loaded slow but I'd explore
I'm glad they came along
I dedicate this song
To all the blogs I've read before

To all the posts that made me think
That pulled me back from education's brink
For helping me to grow, I owe a lot, I know
To all the blogs I've read before

The winds of ed reform keep blowing
And every time I tried to quit
The winds of ed reform kept blowing
And Ravitch wrote another hit

To Klonsky, Cuban, Thomas too
To Teacher Tom with his whole crew
I'm glad they came along
I dedicate this song
To all the blogs I've read before

To all the blogs that called out lies
That saw through Gates' philanthropies
They live within my heart
I'll always be a part
Of all the blogs I've read before

The winds of ed reform keep blowing
And every time I tried to stay away
The winds of ed reform kept blowing
And Curmudgucation had its say

To Ferlazzo's endless lists of links
To Tultican exposing what he thinks
To Cloaking Inequality's fight
To Nancy Bailey shining light
To all the blogs I've read before

To all the blogs we've read before
That kept us raging, wanting more
We're glad they came along
We dedicate this song
To all the blogs we've read before

The winds of ed reform keep blowing
And every time we thought the fight was done
The winds of ed reform kept blowing
And Deutsch29 had just begun

To Bill Ayers writing from the left
To Becoming Radical, never bereft
To Schools Matter, Class Size too
To Goldstein's Union — through and through
To all the blogs we've read before

To Janresseger's careful prose
To 10th Period, where the real truth goes
To Seattle Schools holding firm
To NPE — still making powers squirm
To all the blogs we've read before

To all the blogs we've read before
That traveled in and out our doors
We're glad they came along
We dedicate this song
To all the blogs —
the righteous, raging, truth-proclaiming,
standardized-test-blaming,
corporate-reform-defaming blogs —
we've read before 🎶

Dedicated to every educator who ever rage-read a blog at midnight before a staff meeting, nodded furiously, and forwarded it to colleagues who already agreed with them.


THE PATRON SAINTS AND WARRIORS OF PUBLIC EDUCATION: BLOGGERS, WRITERS, PODCASTS, AND ORGANIZATIONS

Public education—the last bastion of democracy where kids learn to tie their shoes, question authority, and occasionally dodge active shooter drills. But lo and behold, it's under siege! Not from aliens or killer robots (though that would make for a better movie), but from a shadowy cabal of billionaire oligarchs who view schools like they're prime real estate for privatization flip-and-sell schemes. Think of it as Monopoly, but instead of Boardwalk, they're after your kid's backpack.
