This post was a part of our April Fool's Day edition of The Gladfly! Please don't think we're serious about this.
Phlypaper's avid readers may have noticed that I haven't been blogging as much lately. That's because I've found a new love: tweeting?or as I like to say, ?wasting untold hours while still ?working.'? A few of my tweets have produced nifty little debates with ed reformers, politicians, union leaders, teachers, parents, students?really any creatures with opposable thumbs. Below is a recent debate I had with an eleven-year-old fifth grader, BieberFan6598. Check out how I adeptly make the case for increasing class sizes!
BieberFan6598 4 new kids joined class today. ms roberts says its cuz school has $$ problems. lame!!!
MichaelPetrilli Not lame! Smart budgeting will help your school be more efficient. Mad props to your principal
BieberFan6598 nah, ur trippin. just like yo mama. yo mama's so stupid she sold her car to pay for gas money
MichaelPetrilli Oh yeah? Bring it. Yo mama's so dumb that oxford had to change the definition of dumb. It now reads: dumb(n) - yo mama
BieberFan6598 whatever. yo mama's so fat that she took geometry in high school just cause she heard there was gonna be some pi
MichaelPetrilli Weak. The integral of yo mama is fat plus a constant, where the constant is equal to more fat
BieberFan6598 well yo mama is so old that that when she was in school there was no history class
MichaelPetrilli That's low, @BieberFan6598
BieberFan6598 ya, you got me, that was harsh. gotta bounce anyway, glee's about 2 start. but maybe ur right, bigger classes arent a bad thing. ttyl
MichaelPetrilli Glad you've come around; thanks for the lively discourse!
