Gadfly Bites 9/30/22—I’ll take “Things you say when you love your report card” for $400, Mayim.

  1. “We’ll calculate our own overall rating!” (Cleveland.com, 9/28/22) “Did we mention there was a levy coming up in November?” (Columbus Dispatch, 9/30/22) “Really, our report card shouldn’t be a surprise.” (Cleveland.com, 9/28/22) Oh, and “Report cards are only a snapshot”, because it is apparently required of everyone.

  2. Meanwhile, out of the rarefied lights of the “Report Card Jeopardy” Tournament of Champions and back down here on Earth, we have a great look at what we might call a “what next fair” held at Dayton Regional STEM School earlier this week. There, students from the independent STEM school met with representatives from colleges, employers, and the military. Why? Because these kids will have all those options open to them upon (or even before, methinks) graduation thanks to the school they chose. Awesome. (Dayton Daily News, 9/29/22)
