Paranoia? Hey, sometimes someone is really chasing you.

I’m not normally a conspiracy theorist.

Okay. I do believe that there was a second shooter on the grassy knoll.

But when Mos Def  was on Bill Maher’s show I laughed aloud when he said that he still didn’t believe that we walked on the moon.

But, really. Don’t you think this is a bit of a coincidence?

Arne Duncan made a speech last week saying large class sizes are okay and necessary and that schools had to do more with less, including rethinking “compensating teachers based on their educational credentials.”

Among Duncan’s senior advisor is Jo Anderson, former Executive Director of the IEA. The present Executive director is Audrey Soglin and worked with Jo for years before he went to Washington.

Last week, Soglin and IEA President presented a list of Challenging Issues to the IEA Board of Directors which included using “something” other than the present compensation schedule.

In a speech prepared for delivery today, the grand puppet master, Bill Gates says,

“Of course, restructuring pay systems is like kicking a beehive” — but restructure them anyway, Mr. Gates plans to tell the superintendents in his talk to the Council of Chief State School Officers, which opens a convention in Louisville on Friday.

All of them on the same page. All in one week, yet.
