Shorter Excerpts (From A Work In Progress)

missed-something-once:

School closures are sometimes an unfortunate last resort. Sometimes they are necessary.

But this? This is derailing education to the lowest bidder. 

CPS classrooms already often have over 40 students, when research tells us that class sizes much smaller than that are best for already under-served students. I can tell you that at a class size of 40 kids, even the most saintly of teachers is no longer differentiating and meeting every student where they need them - you’re performing glorified crowd control. Some charter schools have noble intentions and will do their due diligence in filling this void; however, charter schools are also notorious for turning away and under-serving SPED and English Language Learner populations. As with everything, there are no easy answers. 

This is a sad day for Chicago. Rahm Emanuel, shame on you. We should all be concerned with the systemic dismantling of public education taking place in your city.

Meanwhile, Rahm has no problem committing $100 million in taxpayer funds so DePaul university can get a new basketball stadium.

It worked great Monday, and not that bad Tuesday.

Today? Not so much.

The next two work days are going to take forfuckingever.

Graphics. Hard G. Not Jraphics. Not JIF.

I’ll keep saying it, this is a terrible argument

In SCUBA The U is for “underwater

nobody says “Scuhba”

Soft G 4 lyfe

I’m ride or die hard G.

It’s kind of pointless to argue this, everyone has made up their mind.  And it really doesn’t matter, but every time I see someone say the soft G doesn’t make sense, I start to wonder.  Say the word “gin” out loud.

I’ve decided in conversation to randomly switch between saying it both ways, just to piss off the maximum number of people.
