In case you missed it, Frank Bruni, whose experience as a food critic makes him only slightly less qualified to write about education than John King’s three years of charter school experience qualifies him to be Commissioner, penned this absolutely moronic piece about the Common Core.
It probably wouldn’t even be worth mentioning, except that it sets up this beautifully written response from blogger Jersey Jazzman. Besides his excellent takedown of CC architect David Coleman, it’s worth reading just for phrases like “jumps into the pool of education policy unencumbered by the water wings of knowledge.”
