Gadfly Bites 11/18/19 – Two thumbs down

  1. This is an editorial which exonerates the Lorain school board and every other area official and meddling rando who obstructed David Hardy’s work as CEO even before he got started. I don’t like it. (Morning Journal, 11/16/19)
  2. This is a piece of reportage, in which suburban school officials complain to the media about the EdChoice Scholarship Program and demand that it be “fixed”. I don’t like this one either, and EdChoice isn’t broken. (Gongwer Ohio, 11/15/19)
  3. This is a story about teachers at Ohio’s largest online charter school. The teachers are lovely and positive and provide some interesting detail about their jobs. I don’t hate it, despite some offputting quotes and misinformation provided by others. (Columbus Dispatch, 11/17/19)
  4. This is a story I like very much, even though it is ostensibly about sports. But it is also about donuts, adoptions, Italy, cute kids, and a foundation in Westerville that helps students in struggling districts attend private schools instead. (Columbus Dispatch, 11/18/19)
