Andy Smarick's not slacking with a 4-day week; he's been quoted all over the place in the news lately (see here, here, here and here... and here)! If that's not enough Fordham for you, listen to Checker's podcast on federal education spending. And for some non-Fordham news (yawn, I know), try the New York Times Magazine's 'Building a Better Teacher', New Hampshire's pension lawsuit, Obama's Ed Tech plan or more from North Carolina's busing drama. Phew! Now on to the fun stuff. Check out Til Death's take on merit pay and a new test-prep rap.?? Just don't listen to classical music... and don't chase the money!
