Jack Lessenberry for Friday, February 17, 2017.
Well, it’s Friday, and I thought I’d mark the end of the week with a particularly absurd joke.
Did you know there is something in Lansing called the School Reform Office which can actually close down failing public schools. Get it?
Well, there is, in fact, something named that. And, for the second year in a row, it indicated it was thinking about closing a group of schools statewide, only to have to beat a hasty retreat and say the equivalent of “Ah, just kidding, we really didn’t mean it.”
