This Future of America video is an “ED in 08″ parody. I think it’s funny. Education Gadfly has other video ideas.
Also from Education Gadfly’s April Fool’s Edition:
The Detroit Glee Repress reported this week that the 2007 graduation rate in the city’s public schools was zero percent-not a single student received a diploma last year. Reporters and grief counselors spent weeks combing Motor City for a high-school graduate but found none. “Our valedictorian came close,” said Richard Janmora, principal of Chadsey High School, “but just missed the mark, unfortunately.” Betty Fitzsimmons, spokesperson for the Michigan Department of Education, which puts Detroit’s 2007 graduation rate at 67 percent, dismissed the Glee Repress findings.
Another post reports on a school that’s teaching fractions “across the curriculum.”
The ‘Future of America’ parody would be true if the students were black.
