Last Sunday evening, the Mrs. and I sipped wine and doodled burlesque model, Kristen Minsky, at the Philadelphia chapter of Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School. Half of us vectorized and colorized our doodles.

Here’s everything you never wanted to know I knew about the American education system. Read it over and submit a three-page report by Tuesday.

• A Manifesto (It’s admittedly involved)
• A Proposal (How I believe I’d be able to address some of the issues I outlined, on a small scale)
• A Student Editorial (A high school senior’s perspective on some of the principles I’m championing)
• An Open Letter (The state of things in our district)
• Kids on Testing

One night I had a dream.
I dreamed I was walking along the beach with my Wife
and across the sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints,
one belonged to me and the other to my Wife.
When the last scene of my life flashed before me,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that many times along the path of my life,
there was only one set of footprints.
I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest
and saddest times in my life.
This really bothered me and I questioned my Wife about it.
“Wife, you said that once I decided to marry you,
you would walk with me all the way,
but I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life
there is only one set of footprints.
“I don’t understand why in times when I needed you most,
you should leave me.”
My Wife replied, “My precious, precious husband,
I love you and I would never, never leave you
during your times of trial and suffering.
“When you saw only one set of footprints,
it was then that I cleaned up your filthy set.

Words are flowing out
Like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass
They slip away across the universe (more…)

Public school education is in critical condition… and private corporations are circling above. Take a gander at one of my courageous colleague’s take on “The Common Core Kool-Aid.”
