Punk Rock

Johnny Rotten wore a t-shirt that read “I Hate Pink Floyd.”

I wear a t-shirt that reads “I Hate The Gates Foundation­.” As an enthusiast­ic former member of the original punk rock movement, I can tell you that few teachers represent the punk rock ethos. Most alarmingly­, administra­tors and educrats are the antitheses of punk. They’re all looking for some expert or celebrity to tell them how education should operate and they’ll mindlessly promote whatever snake-oil they’re handed until the next “new thing” or catch phrase comes around.

You know what, disco still sucks and so does centralize­d, commoditiz­ed, education profiteeri­ng. It’s like polyester slacks and butterfly collars.

Get real and DIY.
