Make it go away

1) Mediocrity in Education. Settling for scores instead of learning.
2) Small-mindedness. The framework that understands that students need more time in school because of circumstances beyond their control and yet won't agree to it.
3) Arne Duncan and his clone in DC and NY.
4) Obama's refusal to be bold and brave. Sometimes you need to take a stand before you reach across the table and lose your choice.
5) Biden's silence.
6) Postings that say NY will lose the most jobs this year.
7) My union's belief that because teachers look tired that we're useless. With that, my union's love of unchecked capitalism which, of course, makes no sense.
8) The silence of parents when their schools close.
9) The feeling that nothing matters, anyway.
