Reply to Philly Goat Project at the Academy of Music by electric_ranger

We LOVE Philly Goat Project. They do a Christmas tree event each year at Awbry (I’m sure I’m spelling this wrong) Arboretum and it falls on our son’s birthday. It’s become a cute tradition for us to drop off our tree and see him maybe pet the goats, but usually just make eyes at them and run around like three year olds do.

Reply to Temple faculty union to discuss taking no confidence vote in President Wingard and two top administrators by Uberguuy

Wingard is not merely ineffective as a leader. He has ideas about education that are scary and they would be disastrous if fully realized. The following piece is perhaps overwritten, but essentially correct in its evaluation of Wingard’s philosophy: https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/jason-wingards-edtech-griftopia/
