Hey, don’t diss Highlights! It’s one of the few elementary level content providers that has an RSS feed. I’m NOT kidding! I still have a request out to Scholastic and FunBrain to add RSS to show new content. So far, no response. Highlights added it last year after an email (of course someone from the magazine then sent out an email asking what the heck RSS was, but I digress).

Yeah, my wife (a 4th grade teacher) and I reserve a special place in the wicker basket full of really old mail-order catalogs for our NEA Todays. I can proudly say I have never read single one of them before shipping them off to recycling to be turned into toilet paper. Karma is a b@tch…

Wow! That’s bad! I’m in the AFT. Ours is a bit better. I guess they figured people would read it. I bet it’s in the bathrooms of teachers all across America. GO USA! Woo-Hoo! Yeah!

Does it have a quiz? Like, so you can see if he really likes you? Giggle.

Oh my god, I saw that the other day… it was surreal and highly awkward.

And I don’t want him to “love my students.”

Richard Simmons is back people! He is the new “It” man of 2008! His career has been revived thanks to the wonderful ad on ESPN (www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIr6GLBj_jc)

And really, who can argue with Richard’s intensity and fashion sense! Imagine the eyes of our students if we could approach the classroom each day with the same enthusiasm!!

I sense we might see some jaws drop and grades rise!

Upon closer examination, painful and disturbing as that process proved to be, it is evident that Sir Richard Simmons is actually reaching forward, begging, through Botox-tightened eyes, to get him the hell out of that magazine.

Even he has some standard of decency.

Remember, don’t judge a man by his wardrobe. Or his propensity to run with the heavies.

Uh, yea. I had a similar response. And, the Richard Simmons spread is disturbing on sooooooo many levels. Oh, and did you know that five = $1,000.

Sigh.
