@DanielMPerez @berinkinsman @audreygwinter for all intensive pur… ugh. I can’t.
@berinkinsman there… wait… whaaaa… huh! Neat.
@berinkinsman I get it... Seems intellectually dishonest and insulting to the target audience. But, I get it.
@jesscraven101 having worked better than my fair share of call centers, that last bit about bing transferred to editorial is a little shocking to me.

@MugsysRapSheet I bet if you got the right one cornered, you could plant the seed of a GOP effort to lock the wages of private school teachers to that of public school teachers. That feels like it fits their play book. Some how they would sell it as giving public and private school students the same opportunities.
