Before you write to comment, please be aware that this is satire.

The latest satire from Students Last.

EduShyster has written another fabulous post, this one on a theme that readers of this blog know well: What are the “best practices” that turn charter schools into media sensations?

Wherever you live, send this post to whoever covers education. The journalists should pay attention. EduShyster is a terrific teacher.

New Jersey blogger Jersey Jazzman has written a brilliant and funny essay on “America’s Most Invasive Species: The Wonk.”

This is the kind of article that reminds you how serios humor can be.

He noticed that wonks thrive at conferences. At these conferences, panels of wonks deliberate what to do about issues in which they have become experts without actual experience.

Wonks are not to be confused with scholars, who devote themselves to deep study. Nor should they be confused with practitioners.

Their rise to power and prominence may suggest a parallel with hedge fund managers, who have financialized the economy via buying and selling, the manipulation of paper, not by producing anything.

You need to sit down before you read this. It is so hilarious it may cause you to fall down laughing.

This is a wonderful spoof about Miracle Teachers, Mracle Schools, and Amazing stories of overnight transformation that occur only when the teachers are inexperienced and the journalists don’t dig too deep.

Edushyster has done it again.

He or she has identified the schools in Massachusetts with the highest suspension rates. Almost all are charters.

This is not what you would normally think was a funny topic, but read it to the end and see what you think.

Frankly, no one is better at puncturing charter school myths and pomposity than Edushyster.

This comes from Students Last. Satire alert!

Diana Senechal reports on the latest, best-ever research study.

This may indeed be the silver bullet that researchers usually say does not exist.

As Edushyster calls it, Wendy is miffed that Jon didn’t mention TFA.

Another hilarious article from one of our best satirists.
