“Mayor Bloomberg (who,as he puts it “knows something about IT, as I used to run such a company”) is really sounding the drums on this issue.”
Mayor Bloomberg and Joel Klein can’t figure out how to put a computer in every classroom. If he can’t call up Dell/Apple/HP/etc. and say, hey, I have a great way to advertise your products – give them to urban schools in large numbers at a reduced cost – what traditional NYC politician would?
The DOE did, on the other hand, give my school $$$ to install wireless internet in every classroom. Fine. We have about 150 classrooms and nine laptops with LCD projectors we can wheel around on carts. Hell, we don’t even have a TV with a DVD player in every classroom, but the ones that the DOE can get us cost hundreds of dollars because of the carts they sit on. We aren’t allowed to go to Best Buy or Circuit City and buy our own. We’re given X dollars to buy X products, but unless we spend it before an artificial DOE deadline, we lose the money.
They also f*#$ed up the old system of record-keeping and discipline, creating even MORE paperwork than the old Board of Education, an accomplishment I thought at the time was truly impossible.
To summarize: F&*@ YOU, JOEL KLEIN! F#&* YOU! F#&* YOU! F#&* YOU! F#&* YOU! F#&* YOU!
dibs, I would think with the advent of blogs people could release their frustrations on annoymous folks and forgo meds, unless blogs are increasing frustrations….
6yrs, sounds like you would like an MTV death match with Joel Klein

I just gave you all a fine example of this method. I just wonder if it works for The What.
DeLepp, I think we can tell here who gets more frustrated by the blogs and who uses them to release frustrations. I’ve never committed “blogicide.” 🙂

Gotcha Benson.
Fulgencio. Fulge, for short.
I had to join Hadassah to get catastrophic coverage.
What is his name? I just scanned through the thread & don’t see it.
