Quick hitters...

It's the first time all week that I've been home before 5:30, so I thought I'd celebrate with all of your folks by throwing out a few quick hit links:

We know nothing about ths issues

File this under the well, duh file because this is about the least surprising news I've read in a really long time. Possible voters don't really understand or know much about the issues on the Ohio ballot this November. The issues are wordy, long, and actually complex. Too much for most voters to handle. Check this website to learn more before voting, please.

Charter schools have to educate - finally

And file this one under the freakin' finally file. Charter schools have been marketing themselves as magic solutions to the problems of children at low-performing or parentally-disliked schools for a number of years now but have never been asked to prove that they're really teaching anything at all. Apparently, that's going to change. What a radical frickin' concept, folks. Hold the public schools accountable, blast them (and sometimes remove students) if they don't meet the standards, and then don't ask their replacements (charter schools) to meet those same standards. Morons...
