Krazy Pic 1 I gotta be honest . . . I don’t know if this comforts me or scares me!

What is Missouri’s Governor doing? If you live in or near Missouri, you are perhaps familiar with the current governor’s questionable back-channels attempt to fire the Commissioner of Education and bring in an out-of-state advocate of charter schools. He is using his power to appoint State Board members, but then withdrawing the appointments, if the appointees indicate they won’t vote ‘correctly’ on that issue. I inched out on a limb to comment in this week’s News-Leader column.
Spitballs From the Back Row! PREVIEW I’ve held back from saying too much about this, since I’ve already been hitting you with Rollin’ . . opportunities for Christmas! But, I DO have a new book coming out on Dec 20! It’s a collection of over 30 of my educational columns, (see here for a synopsis), so it will be entirely different from Rollin’. It’ll be smaller, a trade paperback, and less expensive (around $11.95 they tell me). The early reviews are favorable (see Review excerpts here), and I’m looking forward to it. There will be more information to come, and special opportunities to get a copy, probably starting in January, but let me know if you want me to reserve a signed copy for you, and you’ll get the best deal possible when it’s released!
