Gadfly has landed (a late notice)

Stafford Palmieri
9.19.2008

Arrival was on time; blog notification was not. Nevertheless, the issue is spectacular. Lesson from this week? Everybody's reading Fordham material.??Terry argues that based on his speech in Dayton last week, Obama just may have snagged an advanced copy of the Fordham report Accelerating Student Learning in Ohio: Five Policy Recommendations for Strengthening Public Education in the Buckeye State. We can't prove it, of course, but we have our suspicions. Then,??Mike compares Detroit to AIG and gets the attention of Governor Granholm. Elsewhere in the issue, we see tales of bats taking domicile in a school attic in Utah and a popular New York City elementary school getting the big fat F from Chancellor Klein.
