I hereby declare that the official #classsize for K-6 is…
… 13. No more, no less. But how did I arrive at such a capricious and arbitrary assessment? Funny you should ask. According to President Obama, Secretary Duncan, and all of the charter-pushers out there, and now Romney, class size

TX honor roll student jailed for #truancy: I’m dubious… now UPDATED!
Perhaps an outrage and abuse of power. An over-worked high school student in TX was jailed for 24 hours for missing school one too many days. Apparently, she works two jobs and takes college level credits. Obviously, the judge is
