So...Now What?: Sounds like a plan to me...

http://debhaws.blogspot.com/2011/01/sounds-like-plan-to-me.html

Can't see the reality for the delusions. Monday, January 10, 2011. Sounds like a plan to me. The non-profit organization started by Michelle Rhee. To organize a national movement for school reform, came out with its plan for fixing our broken schools today. A lot of it is familiar to anyone who has been following Ms. Rhee via her appearances on Oprah or in the film Waiting For Superman. Anyway, here's the list:. Elevate the Teaching Profession by Valuing Teachers’ Impact on Students. For their ability to...

So...Now What?: Place a bet...

http://debhaws.blogspot.com/2011/01/place-bet.html

Can't see the reality for the delusions. Sunday, January 30, 2011. When I was growing up in Minnesota. Cars were driven out to the middle of frozen lakes and bets were made on the exact day in the spring the car would collapse through the ice. Anything to pass the time during sub-zero temperatures. One of our cars, while not sitting on a frozen lake, is buried in a snow bank. Yes, there is a car underneath that snowbank. When do you think the roof of the car will be free of snow? Sunday, January 30, 2011.

So...Now What?: Cinnabons and Egypt...

http://debhaws.blogspot.com/2011/02/cinnabons-and-egypt.html

Can't see the reality for the delusions. Monday, February 7, 2011. As someone who loved the pictures of purple fingers and who, despite the evidence otherwise, wants to believe that all people have a desire for individual freedom, I am choosing to believe that there is a small possibility the young Egyptians who peacefully demonstrated in the streets are longing for *some autonomy in their lives. (*Some autonomy? Is that similiar to being half pregnant? Some is better than none, though.). While many in t...

So...Now What?: The headline says it all...

http://debhaws.blogspot.com/2010/12/headline-says-it-all.html

Can't see the reality for the delusions. Saturday, December 4, 2010. The headline says it all. New WTU Chief: Top Job 'is to protect members'. Yup And the sub-head? DC teachers union looks to guard perks. The new president of the. Nathan Saunders] promised a "progressive" administration rather than a "reactionary" one, and said his No. 1 priority is to protect members' job security. Here's the 'reactionary administration' Mr. Saunders refers to:. Administration Mr. Saunders is replacing.. Most important...

So...Now What?: February 2011

http://debhaws.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html

Can't see the reality for the delusions. Friday, February 18, 2011. This is mainly for my mother who, suffering as always from the extreme weather in Minnesota, loves seeing what's happening here in the more moderate weather of Connecticut. She has quite enjoyed the pain we've felt this winter. Remember this? Our poor penguins on the front porch have been buried for more than a month. Not any more. The car that disappeared sometime in mid-January. Is finally showing its sorry self. They also acknowledge ...

So...Now What?: This is ridiculous...

http://debhaws.blogspot.com/2011/01/this-is-ridiculous.html

Can't see the reality for the delusions. Wednesday, January 12, 2011. This is what the penguins who live on our front porch every winter looked like on December 27, the day after the infamous snow storm that showed the powers-that-be at New York City Sanitation Department at their worst. This is my backyard the day before the Christmas storm. Three snow storms later. It's pretty but I like the first picture better. Well, back to work. Won't be going anywhere anytime soon. Wednesday, January 12, 2011.

So...Now What?: Every week should be school choice week...

http://debhaws.blogspot.com/2011/01/every-week-should-be-school-choice-week.html

Can't see the reality for the delusions. Sunday, January 30, 2011. Every week should be school choice week. As National School Choice Week. Comes to a close the evidence keeps mounting that there is more and more support for reforming our public schools and, more importantly, ending the dominance of the teachers unions and placing the power of school choice back in the hands of parents. While I remain unconvinced that the parent trigger laws. It's not hard to imagine how vicious the push-back. Remember m...

So...Now What?: T&A is running scared...

http://debhaws.blogspot.com/2011/01/t-is-running-scared.html

Can't see the reality for the delusions. Sunday, January 30, 2011. T&A is running scared. Gee, I guess the T&A thinks we've forgotten what happened last fall. Well, we haven't. Apparently, the T&A gets that the taxpayers who are forced to pay their salaries have NO faith in their ability to carry out their responsibilities with any sort of reasonable, reality-based effort. So.they have decided to end a program. Worried about losing power and money.and looking even more inept? Sunday, January 30, 2011.

So...Now What?: 2/11/2011 ~ Egypt Erupts with Freedom...

http://debhaws.blogspot.com/2011/02/2112011-egypt-erupts-with-freedom.html

Can't see the reality for the delusions. Friday, February 11, 2011. 2/11/2011 Egypt Erupts with Freedom. The quotes are on fire online. The celebration continues, tweeted by its participants. Ran an article a couple of days ago about how a small group of people, including Wael Ghonim, got this whole party started. (Their action plan is here. For any Tea Party members reading this.) Most of them lean to the Left but say they want a "Western-style constitutional democracy." The article. Egypt’s uphea...
