(Guest Post by Matthew Ladner)

Yes it is – we are so proud that the we had a cumulative passing rate of 84.7% on the Algebra test!! Rockin it here in Texas. But Jay Green, great defender of the status quo in education standards, this is better than what again?
Oh boy…here we go…Dave pours a bucket of bloody fish off the side of the boat 🙂
I’ve always said it’s an honor to be mistaken for Jay Greene. But is it an honor to be mistaken for Jay Green? Has Jay Greene ever been mistaken for Jay Green?
Come to think of it – Matt, have you ever seen Jay Greene and Jay Green in the same place at the same time? I know I haven’t. Awful peculiar. You don’t suppose . . .
That Jay Green who defends the status quo in education sounds like a real jerk. I’m glad I’m not him.
Nice try, but you’re not fooling anyone, Jay. Or should I say . . . “Jay”?
