- Our Indifference about "Pension Reform" or Breaking our Contract We define indifference as a lack of interest, an unimportance or insensibility. As the Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel states: “[It] is more dangerous than anger and hatred.” We might add that indifference courts a complicit relationship with political and social injustices and that, conversely, these injustices owe their success and power to indifferen […]

- Let's Make A Deal: SB2404Let’s Make Deal: SB2404Quite honestly, I was at first befuddled when it came to choices as a retiree looking at SB2404. I’m not good at choices. I lose at Blackjack without fail.Could be worse. I could be an active teacher looking at SB2404. Thank goodness I’m not an active anymore. The spreadsheet on the IEA Fact Sheet reads like a graduate level test […]

It's encouraging, of course, that the principals gave him such a cool reception. After a decade of crap that never works, it's good to see that even administrators are not buying it. Bloggers I read regularly ar […]

- Giving Rahm a Week to RememberThis week has been insane. In my personal life, in my social life, and in my career I am facing a ridiculous number of challenges this week, but there’s also some real coming out of it.

Bush - to fast-track for-profit virtual charter schools into the state.

- Cinda Klickna’s Response: 30 Pieces of Silver CHALLENGEI have been reading and rereading our IEA president’s email response to my last blog, “Betrayal. Deception, Investigation, Robocalls: SB2404.” The future of our Illinois pensions hinge on this. Perhaps George Orwell could decipher it for me, but he’s still … Continue reading →

- Louisiana Scandals: The Course Choice MysteryOne of Governor Jindal’s “reforms” is called Course Choice. This is supposed to allow public school students to sign up with private vendors, using public school dollars extracted from their local school. Most of the vendors are online operators.

What the hell is this supposed to mean? Enough of the “Occupy” already! It doesn’t work.
Actually I liked the graphic. It’s my neighborhood. I thought it looked cool. Sorry that it seemed to upset you. I’m not sure what “doesn’t work” means.
