A friend of mine brought the following short film to my attention. It is called “The Expert”, and is representative of what teachers in the state of Oklahoma are faced with each day. If one sees the two women in the film as our legislature, the man at the head of the table as our governor (Mary Fallin), the young man with the mauve tie and shirt as our state superintendent (Janet Barresi), and the “expert” being the Oklahoma teacher/administrator, it perfectly illustrates what we face in public education.

Wow, reminds me of the law office where I work. They just spent $15,000 to have a new logo designed. It looks EXACTLY like the old one, even the same blue color.
