Education is going crazy out here in Los Angeles. The district actually just put out a bulletin yesterday cancelling summer school for elementary and middle schools!
While students may be rejoicing in the moment, there will be some reckoning to do when as 8th graders they don’t have enough credits to culminate into high school. That will be exciting, but don’t worry, I’m sure the district will change the rules again just to ensure that mediocrity continues to be passed on through the grade levels, and ultimately the generations of students we pretend that we serve.
Anyway, a bit of Friday fun! I’m actually in this photo (taken May 15th at the UTLA rally)! A.J. Duffy, our less-than-strategic union president is attempting to rev up the crowd. See if you can find me! Here’s a hint…..it’s awfully sunny, and just to prove how smart I was, I decided not to wear sunglasses!
