Clint Eastwood said it best. "A man's got to know his limitations," said "Dirty" Harry Callahan in 1973's "Magnum Force". Well indeed a man does. For that reason I have asked frequent commenter Travis Reems to help out with this here watchdog web log. And much to the delight of those that miss seeing me at dinner, he has accepted.

Good luck, amigo. I have seen a lot in the SLPS and always hope for the best. Since Dr. Hammonds left, though, it has been downhill all the way. While I think without Slay's "Slate" it would never have gone this far, it actually started with the Rochelle Moore/Amy Hilgeman regime. They really knew very little about education, but believed themselves to be quite well versed in the issues. I think many of us consider ourselves to know more than the experts do at times. We just don't go as far as running for an office in another field and then laying down the law in ways that are detrimental to children.
