Bald Piano Guy is one of our best humorists, and he has a great perspective on education. In this video, he sings “Auld Lang Syne” with new lyrics, explaining why opt out is going to be bigger than ever this year.
Okay, the corporate reformers have Bill Gates, Eli Broad, Arne Duncan, Scott Walker, Bobby Jindal, Rick Snyder, ALEC, even President Obama.
But we have the Bald Piano Guy, EduShyster, Peter Greene, and many more who can make you laugh out loud at the idiocy of reformer policies that fail and fail and fail and fail and fail and fail. Yet live on as zombie policies. The living dead.

He has a whole bunch of videos that came up in the sidebar. Well worth a listen.

I am so honored and so humbled by this blog. Thank you so much Dr. Ravitch. We teachers need to feel empowered at this crucial moment, and I will do my best to assist in that mission: https://www.facebook.com/baldpianoguy/videos/1497236237249424/

I find Alan Schwartz unbelievable in his talent, direction, and skill. We are very lucky!

Thanks, Bald Piano Guy—especially for apparently being balder than me.
As a reaction to both videos: I remark that in my state, TN, not only Pearson is not going away, but it does the teacher certification!
