  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?

  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting.

I hope what he said makes some people think.

Unfortunately, I think that the machine that he is raging against is too big and too "full speed ahead" on NCLB for his reasoned and passionate words to have any real effect.

There is nothing quite like standing up to speak the truth that everyone knows but no one has the courage to say...and then looking back and seeing a sea of empty chairs behind you.
But it's not for nothing. When you collect your final paycheck, you will have learned a valuable lesson.

When he collects his final paycheck he will have done what is right and the school system there will be less for it, much less.

I seriously doubt anyone sitting on that bench is there for any other reason than to sit on a big bench and feel good about themselves.

HE said resign right.

No comments...that would be mine.
He's resigning...damn.

Central control of education is a failed idea.
