Haiku You Doin?
I really haven’t had a lot of time to write this week. I attended a conference in Tulsa. We’re budgeting for a massive shortfall next year. And, well, my personal life gets in the way sometime.
Still, some crazy things have happened in the last few days. To acknowledge them, I’m simply going to address each with a single haiku.
House Committee Passes Voucher Bill
Two votes short, no prob –
Bring in Denney and Hickman.
Just so convenient!
Thank the Eight who Voted No
You made the right choice.
No accountability?
Vouchers are a sham.
Blue Cereal Education: End #oklaed
Why fight anymore,
Especially this rigged game?
Like Elsa, let it go.
Rob Miller Opts in to Testing?
Tongue firmly in cheek,
Rob finally wants to test!
It was just a joke.
Senate Education Committee will not hear Consolidation Bills
Senator Ford listens;
His constituents are clear.
Even his bill dies.
A Church Speaks out against Vouchers
Clear and forward thought:
Vouchers threaten liberty.
Thankful they get it.
So we didn’t lose $43 million?
What a huge SNAFU!
Forgot to update spreadsheet!
Inconceivable!
Oklahoma Education Coalition Releases Verified Figures
Enough false narrative!
Trying to distract, divide?
This page gives the facts.
Apparently, Rob, Dallas, and I are still Offending People.
Middle Ground News whines.
Do I intimidate you?
Seriously, dude.
He just doesn’t care
What Jay Chilton thinks of him.
We keep striking nerves.
That’s all for tonight. Have a great week, #oklaed!

I love Haikus, Rick. Believe it or not, before TLE, our district did not have a formal process for admin evals. So, one year I wrote a series of Haikus for each of my APs. They loved them. The next year I did their evals using only sticky notes. Sure was more fun (and meaningful) than McRel.
Great job as always!

We’re glad you’re still here
Fighting the good fight with us —
Keep on keepin’ on.
Know you’ve made a diff
When they start attacking you —
But Jay’s a nobody.
Darn. One extra syllable….
