Swearing at the TV.



I saw this on the NBC Nightly news and I should have gotten depressed. Instead I let loose with a series of expletives that are usually reserved for use exclusively by sailors. Then when Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels spoke at the 1:32 mark, I lost it! He said “…class size, by comparison, is virtually meaningless. Put a great teacher in front of large class and you can expect results!” Anyone who is a teacher or a parent knows that both classroom size and teacher quality have an impact on student performance. So I call shenanigans on Governor Daniels. He has a political ideology, and is firing yet another salvo in the war against teachers.

Sorry, I can't write anymore. I'm seething with rage... (calm blue ocean, calm blue ocean, calm blue ocean)
