   Yep, that’s all we do, just show up. Even on those Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Days.

   As a fellow New Jerseyite, I am so proud of Jersey Jazzman for taking the time and effort to document and verify the tsunami of toxic sludge emanating from the reformistas and their shills.

   “The proper response for all educators is to bow our heads, accept a gentle pat on the noggin from our betters – the same reformy folks who have vilified us over the years – return to our classrooms, and keep eating the crap sandwiches that these people are shoving down our throats.”

   Jersey Jazzman, thanks for another great post. You are seriously funny … seriously.

     Aren’t you nice! Tell you what: make a donation to the American Cancer Society. Or a good Sandy charity. Or any good charity. And Merry Xmas!

   JJ,
   You rock!

   And thanks to all of you.

   Keep talking, keep fighting, keep telling the truth, keep pointing out the lies!

   As the kids I worked with would have said: All props, Jersey Jazzman!

   🙂

   Your posts help make my day. When I think of the old Carol King standby, “Jazzman,” you come to mind with such lines as “When the Jazzman’s testifyin’ a faithless man believes” and “Jazzman, take my blues away, Make my pain the same as yours with every change you play.”

   Keep on signifyin’. We’re listening.

    Thank you for showing us how absurd these teacher-bashers are. For a while I started to believe this hogwash (a much politer term than I would normally use!), but I now know that what I do matters.

    JJ, thanks for these quotes from the fascists,

    I will be forwarding this “collection” to colleagues, with the advice to copy, print and distribute them in their schools.

    We need to build up the rage with an eye towards mobilizing educators to “hit the streets”.
