70,000 Waiting

Blogging is light because I've been wrestling a water heater out of a confined space in my laundry room and replacing it with a brand new one. You know, with all of that spare time and extra cash I had.

In the meantime, I'd like to direct any readers to an Ed Wonk article I've been meaning to write. When President Bush mentioned funding for 70,000 new AP math and science teachers, my first thought was,

HA! Where are you going to find them? 70,000 mathematicians and scientists who would take this job, but aren't already doing it?

Ed is slightly more eloquent but he makes the same point I would.
