A Egg Laid At The Quick And The Ed

If you have an hour or two to take a short journey through the history of the poultry industry in order to understand value added measures for teacher evaluation, read this meandering parable of eggs by Kevin Carey. He seems intent on taking argument by analogy to new lengths.

Alternatively, for those of you who don’t have a lot of time to waste, go straight to the heart of the matter with this quote from Lenin: “If you want to make an omelet, you need to break some eggs.” And at least Lenin had the virtue of understanding that ordinary folks like teachers didn’t look forward to being the eggs for his omelet.
