Thanks to Dick Allington for the February Absurdity of the Month
In a month full of absurdity: NEA and AFT endorsing Paige as Sec. of
Education, Bush's education plan getting support from Kennedy, Bush's
Education Plan announced surrounded by "Reading Experts", Some real
reading experts attending his white House reading event, etc etc.---
It is somehow fitting that a financial company with the ironic name of
Standard and Poor should be getting into the School Evaluation business.
How Absurd!!! All Aboard!!!
