The radio station that we were broadcasting Sunday shows in Wisconsin went through a bit of a program or format change over the holidays that I think is still being settled. In the meantime, the great shows we’ve recorded are trickling out. For now, you can listen to one on Sound Cloud here. If you […]
Thanks to @rexcharger for posting our show with Nancy Carlsson-Paige

What does the #WIrecall #FAIL teach us about #education?
June 6, 2012 By Leave a Comment
I’m quite disappointed in this outcome, especially since I was just in Wisconsin and the energy seemed to pull towards the Democrats. That state really mucked it up electing that stink bomb in the first place. The teachers’ unions in the state in particular are going to weather continued assaults. This tells me that power […]

On teachers not being bystanders, one of the biggest problems with bullying are the bystanders. I’ve seen a lot lately not just targeting the actual perpetrators, but also the folks that just stand around and do nothing. That can be just as hurtful. The same holds true to those who stand around and watch their […]

#Walker in #Wisconsin could slash teacher pay by 30% with new rule change

Need we any more evidence that WI governor Scott Walker is an unimaginable bastard? Sorry for my language. Even if he is recalled, his legislative agenda has laid waste to a viable public sector. It would take years to undo it. Conservatives get some real pleasure, some kind of perverse pleasure, out of sticking it […]

UW #education dean and faculty member highlight the threat of #ALEC on #publicschools

I applaud these two courageous faculty members, one a Dean, for noting the disruptive influences of ALEC. You know, who put them on a ballot? Well, ALEC circumvents the electoral process through campaign contributions to state assembly members and creating “model legislation” ready to go. No real changes necessary, other than the state and perhaps […]
On WTDY the other day, talked Walker’s new #edreform proposals, opposite of free-market
Tim and I recorded an impromptu At the Chalk Face episode on WTDY in Madison yesterday. Tim was in Madison on business, I was at home in my pajamas. I’m guessing it will be broadcast this Saturday to keep up with current events in Wisconsin, like Gov. Walker’s new proposals for education. That’s what we […]
