Duncan gets schooled, Colbert learns how to cash in on ed reform

10.16.2009

Arne Duncan seems to be everywhere lately - even popping up last week on the Colbert Report.

Also worth mentioning in this episode??is special guest and 'early childhood education exepert' Andrew Gellman, who had some interesting observations on lengthening the school year.??(Gellman easily upstaged Colbert, if you ask me.)

In the spirit of Friday, we??bring you both clips :

Duncan:

Gellman:

If you're in the mood for more bad education puns and some terrible basketball, you can??watch the entire episode here.
