  1. Hoping this winter in Port Townsend, WA is better than last year's (our first). Lotsa cold, lotsa trees blocking sun = lotsa heating bills.
  2. Hoping many educators read the NRC's new report which slices/dices Race to the Top. Easy read. http://bit.ly/Ur0sJ
  3. Awful editorial in Washington Post on charters. My rejoinder is up as 'Washington Post--Union Buster, http://bit.ly/I4zdE
  4. Thinking about Stephen Krashen (USCal) proposing 21-hour school date is optimal. Fewer discipline problems due to sleep deprivation.
  5. Thinking about the fact that my "9 myths about public schools" has drawn so much attention. http://bit.ly/I4zdE
  6. Thinking that if crazy were a precondition, most Republicans couldn't get health insurance (adapted from Jim Carville).
  7. What will it take to get an Obama education speech as meaningful as on health care. Education talks have been sloppy and error-filled.
  8. Vivid dream. Entered a Catholic mass. Next to priest, test-prep books. Circulating in audience, "How to pass the SAT." The new religion?
  9. Soon to be universal: "Obama's Awful Education Plan" (Ravitch), "Like Bush's Only Worse," Weil, www.counterpunch.org/weil08....
  10. Thinking that if you want more about my take on education issues http://bit.ly/I4zdE will get you op-ed length rants.
  11. Leonie Haimson on Huffington Post says Arne Duncan is an embarrassment. Man clueless. When will rest of world notice? Prob. too late.
  12. notice bvillarga's comment on Wm & Mary. Native to Wmsbg, went there-no money for elswhre. Good then, better now, but rep. as nerd city.
  13. Wondering how many people know or remember that Mastering the Art of French Cooking had three authors, not just Julia Child.
  14. thinking about the NPR report- contents of Chinese State Secrets act are themselves a state secret. Kafka and Joe Heller would be amused.
  15. wondering why heads of APA, AERA, and NCME haven't slammed Duncan on test score abuse. http://bit.ly/I4zdE
  16. put up post dumping on mayoral control of schools: http://bit.ly/I4zdE
  17. Thinking that the light at the end of the education tunnel is a standards freight train coming our way. Gonna hurt bad.
  18. sarah palin will marry mark sanford and in 2012 they'll run for the White House as a husband and wife team.
  19. "We want to resurrect the Soviet Union. We want to bring back chaos." Mike Bloomberg on if the Senate doesn't let him keep school control
  20. wondering if the Republicans will introduce open marriage legislation.
