The likely demise of Stepping Stone Academy, a long-struggling Buffalo charter school, is further proof that the charter school experiment works. It is all about accountability - the lack of which in traditional public schools fueled the charter school movement.
When a charter school doesn't perform, as Stepping Stone hasn't, it loses its license to teach. If Buffalo's traditional public schools were held to the same perform-or-close standard, a mass of them would have shut over the past decade. In another case, a looming ax led to a turnaround at the once-shaky King Charter School. Accountability works.

People who wonder if the glass is half empty or full miss the point. The glass is refillable.
Come on now, there's no call to compare Joel Giambra to an ass regardless of your personal feelings on the state of the world. I think you owe him an apology for that insulting comparison.
If you want, I guess you can apologize to Giambra, too.
Treachery made a monster out of me
I can't stand that guy. He and Jerry Sullivan are full of more smarmy negativity than a pile of negative smarm.
I don't even read Esmonde anymore. I can't.
I try not to read Jerry Sullivan but sometimes I get suckered into it. I also hear him on WGR on Mondays. I quickly change the channel.
With both of these guys, I end up wanting to smack the back of their head (a la Biff in Back to the Future) and call them a bunch of words I wouldn't say in front of my grandmother.

Jerry Sullivan is a jerk. He has nothing positive to say about anything or anybody. I can't read him anymore. He belongs with Giambra's ass.
