    25-Year-Old Textbooks and Holes in the Ceiling: Inside America’s Public Schools "Broken laptops, books held together with duct tape, an art teacher who makes watercolors by soaking old markers. Teacher protests have spread rapidly from West Virginia to Oklahoma, Kentucky and Arizona in recent months. We invited America’s public school educators to show us the conditions that a decade of budget cuts has wrought in their schools. We heard from 4,200 teachers. Here is a selection of the submissions, condensed and edited for clarity. [...] I work in a high school in a suburb north of Detroit. We have about 1,650 students, roughly 25 percent of whom are English Language Learners (students new to our country who don’t speak English well or at all). After two years with no budget at all, this year I was given a little more than $500 for our library. I was able to purchase about 30 books. I am lucky, since our elementary and middle school libraries received no budget at all for the fourth straight year. [...] We have nearly 2,000 emergency, untrained teachers in Oklahoma. I have 15-year-old textbooks, wasps living in my ceiling (I killed 8 in one day in January DURING class), broken desks, leaky ceilings, and I had to purchase my own curriculum this year. My students deserve quality educational experiences. I’d gladly give back my “raise” if only our government would reinstate our core funding."

    His new stuff (Inherent Vice and Bleeding Edge) isn't as good, but it's easier to follow than Latke 49. I agree that V is the best place to start though.

    They skipped 9, which is ugly and inferior.

    DS9 - The hunnith rewatch. See you again next year. Babylon 5 - About halfway through season 2, it's sort of living up to the hype. Counterpart - Sort of Le Carre x Fringe, I like it.
