We Have a New Name!

From now on, Gotham Charter Schools will be Charter Chalkboard NY. We have lots of exciting changes for you, our readers, and we can't wait to get started. You can read our future posts at charterchalkboardNY@blogspot.com.

First, we're going to have a big fundraising party, where you can all give us money. And after that, we're running a conference with teachers. For those critics out there, we want you to know that two of the three teachers we've selected have never stereotyped ATR teachers in these pages. Actually, we were only able to locate one such teacher, but we feel we deserve credit anyway.

Second, we're going to actually start reading the comments section. It's pretty tedious, actually, as it appears to mostly be a lot of crap about how teachers shouldn't get pensions, and how awful teachers are, and how they don't do any work, but we feel we'll be more credible if we sort out the obvious junior high school-style comments and leave only the important ones. Of course, there may not be any more comments once we do that, but that's fine since we won't need to read them and can get back to the important work of whatever it is we do around here.

We will continue to bring you fabulous guest posts from not only E4E members, but also people who claim not to be E4E members yet are listed as E4E members, having attended their events and signed up. We promise to bring you various viewpoints, encompassing not only Moskowitz Charter teachers, but also non-Moskowitz charter teachers.

And don't worry, fans. We will continue to bring you coverage whenever Eva Moskowitz is planning a rally. We will, of course, cover the actual rallies, and then we'll do follow-ups to find out what has happened after the rally.

At Charter Chalkboard NY, we won't get mired down in special interests like teachers or parents. We'll stay focused on whatever the hell our corporate sponsors, like the Gates Foundation, see fit. And for those Gloomy Guses who complain that we never solicit writing from real public school teachers, who are of course special interests, we pledge to you that we will continually ask real public school teachers to write for us. However, we will not read what they write for us, and we will not run it either, because who knows what the hell it is those folks could say anyway?

We now have a special red phone that runs from Charter Chalkboard directly to the office of Eva Moskowitz, so we will be able to inform you immediately when Eva has any issue. And not only that, but we will aggressively cover what goes on in all other charter schools. Also we will let you know immediately when Doug Lemov figures a more efficient way to extract every degree of time-wasting enjoyment or humor from the modern classroom.

This is our pledge to you, our readers. Please send money so we may continue our mission.
