Scandal.k12.us This podcast is a true-crime comedy podcast. Each episode explores a different education-related scandal in order to elucidate, enlighten, and entertain. We cover scandals involving educators, administrators, government officials, and private companies demonstrating the complexities and issues with the American educational system. We want to inform as much as entertain since a hot mess can offer some cold lessons. If you have a school scandal (this can involve curriculum, teachers, school boards, text-books or tech adoption, or anything else), you can reach us at scandalk12us@gmail.com or leave a message at (518) 945-8553‬.

Here are just a few key links. This is a link to the Caffeinated Rage blog HERE. The blog is written by Stu Egan who “is an English Teacher in the Winston-Salem / Forsyth County School system. Having taught all grades and levels of high school English, he currently teaches AP English Language and Composition and Shakespeare 101 and 102.” …Yes, we ripped that description from his site. We were going to link to the article on www.businesswire.com that compared Istation and Amplify but the link from 2020 is now dead and all traces have been evacuated from the internet. Thanks to FreeSound as always. Here are the credits and if we miss you please contact us. "Dramatic Organ, A.wav" by InspectorJ (www.jshaw.co.uk) of Freesound.org. (As of 3/15 we cannot get our full list from FS but we will update as soon as we can). The additional sound we found on YouTube from the talented Yoni Schlesinger. Subscribe to his channel HERE. Our song clip from Mad Men can be found in full HERE. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f64b51ddb256b00ecba7e5d/1614184620948-0JSOCXZXNKRRUBEMWC2Q/Crazy+Waters Resource Room - Crazy Waters Yes, we totally crushed it. We mean, we crushed the image to fit and it looks weird. However, unless someone complains, we’re going with this. There are a lot of sources we will release in the second half notes so as not to give away too much of the story. Here are a few links for the Crazy Waters. NCpedia Here. You can read about the Crazy Waters Crystals and other horrors over at the online Museum of Quackery Here. It seems that this museum is only online today, but do check out the many stories. To give a little taste of the coming story, you can read Follow the Money - Looking at Political Contributions Among These Involved With The Station Contract on CaffinatedRage, a blog worth getting your rage on at. We will do a rundown of all sound credits in the next show note. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f64b51ddb256b00ecba7e5d/1614179986784-T4SLO68VVQ9SF9FI5DG6/SHOW+YOUR+WORK Resource Room - Show Your Work - Part II Michelle Rhee Story We relied on articles in Ed Week, Politico, and the Washington Post. Here is a link to ProPublica’s list of 990 filings for TNTP. ProPublica is a good source for any 990 research in the event you are doing a news story or want to make a donation to an organization and wonder what their finances look like. Find a starting point HERE. Remember, tax filings and actual financial activity can differ - just ask your uncle Lemmie serving time due to tax frog. Schools Matter is another blog where the comments are as entertaining as the posts. Schools Matter is written by contributors Jim Horn, Robert Skeels, and Susan O, and a user known as Skrashen. You can find our Rhee source Here. We are not linking to The New Teacher Project, Students First, or Teach For America, since we’re not a news source we’re a true-crime comedy podcast about education and all three will have their own moment to roast on our podcast. Sounds are credited in previous episodes, if we missed your email us at scandalk12us@gmail.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f64b51ddb256b00ecba7e5d/1614178943114-O7WW7LZ3D8GFA9Z0414W/Iron+Chancellor Resource Room - The Iron Chancellor We have a number of sources and rather than just dump everything, here are some select sources. This is the blog NYCEducator discussing the story of taping children’s mouths shut. There is so much more on this blog but you can read the original report Here The Daily Howler is true old-skool curmudgeon blogging from way back. Here is a link to the report that Rhee’s media claims didn’t match up with our current timeline/dimensional reality Here. We used reporting by the Atlantic and Fast Company, Frontline, but you can google these or find them Here. Freesound keeps giving us what we need - thanks to dustinreush for “sounds of heaven,” SofiesMood for casino slots, rterry11558 for guitar (Paranoid Android). Additional music samples from YouTube user Andrew Remillard Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna, and we didn’t use but loved the Otto Von Bismark rap by High School student MrWinkles titled THE IRON CHANCELLOR!

As with any story that expands beyond the original scope, there are many sources but here are some that are worth reading focusing on a few key elements. Education Dive’s article is from 2013 but conveys the breathy hope for technology to change education. We relied on articles by John Fensterwald, a journalist at the Silicon Valley Education Foundation and writer for the Educated Guess (published until 2012) who is currently writing at EdSource. Check him out for all things California Edu. Once again, we relied on the reporting of the Baltimore Sun. Here is one of the articles we used about PGCPS. You can subscribe to the Baltimore Sun … We mean, become a member Here. To learn more about membership go Here. We gathered some tips by reading articles and comments on Diane Ravitch’s blog … but, wow things get spicy there. You can follow the blog of Thomas Ultican, a former teacher now blog activist, and read the latest 2020 article on John Deasy on the blog “Tultican .” Donate to the Free Sound project and thanks to users: Ohrum, Djczyszy, and many more. If we missed you, let us know at scandalk12us@gmail.com. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f64b51ddb256b00ecba7e5d/1607524238444-VXKKSP0U37Q2XE2JDFY5/IMG_7257.jpg Resource Room There are so many sources for our K12 story and we relied on publicly available legal documents as well which are easy to find using the Googles. From a journalist perspective, this was very one sided… We will include more of K12 responses in our next K12 episode, but the documents we cited speak for themselves. We relied on investigative journalism of Jessica Calefati at The Mercury News and there is a trove of investigation done around 2016 but you can start HERE. Typically, we list a number of other resources but when K12 finally got on the radar in 2016, there was a dog pile of reportage. Sadly, we could not find anything really juicy between 2000 and 2008 but perhaps it is out there in some archives. We may do a prequel. We want to thank our Free Sound project contributors. We also found the Atribution button on the page (sad since we have been using this for years. This episode relied on users: Soundclown for the water pipe, Ecfike (a nine year user and contributor to Free Sound) for fiddle music, Jameswroles for the record scratch, freedomfightervictor for calculator (we didn’t use for this episode but great sound for the future), Zuluonedrop for the sick retro drum track, Mareproduction for 90s Emo rock track (you can PayPal or rach at jazzgitara@gmail.com), and Susychistrian for tapping mic.

We borrowed the cello music from YouTube from musician and MIT student Janelle Sands in a 2017 recording - you can check out her videos HERE. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f64b51ddb256b00ecba7e5d/1606160592205-D9MMJOU3XYYNYFVTDMSE/IMG_7176%281%29.jpg Resource Room We went down the rabbit hole on this one. Reddit users are credited in the episode. We did not do any research to verify information. Any similarity to persons living or dead is merely coincidental - at least we remember hearing that on the Rockford Files. Thanks for the Youtube channel Glamour Daze which is Vintage Fashion Film Archive from Glamourdaze.com. The audio we borrowed was used under the Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Online Video as outlined by the Center for Social Media at http://cmsimpact.org/program/fair-use. Donate and support the Free Sound project and thanks to users:Pflaniga and Timbre, and many reoccuring sounds that have been previously credited. If we missed you, let us know at scandalk12us@gmail.com. We plan on using Timbre’s work on future episodes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f64b51ddb256b00ecba7e5d/1603136766384-QZG45VKYVQ5EYSR3OZUJ/IMG_6553.jpg Resource Room - Floridaman Show Notes Once again, keep the feedback coming. We are making improvements as we fly the plane. Thanks to our supporters on Patreion as well as whoever dropped that $10 on the ground. We need coffee by any means. Charters are still in the news for sudden closures in Florida. Here is a story from September, 2020: https://www.fox4now.com/news/local-news/charter-school-in-fort-myers-being-shut-down We relied on many sources but here are a few top links: Harvard, of course and their paper blah blah blah charter schools (yeah we don’t follow Chicago or MLA since Professor Pecan can’t give us a bad grade anymore). The Sun Sentinel. Another ringer of a story. Give it a read. We really enjoyed the Capital Soup article at Capitalsoup.com (we hope is not right wing but let us know) that covered the report The Hidden Costs of Charter School Choice: Privatizing Public Education in Florida, released in 2018.. Of course, email us at scandalk12us@gmail.com if you have additional information you would like us to use or clarifications to add for future episodes. Thanks to FreeSound.org and FreeSound contributors: Kiddpark, Dr-Mack, Thesuprememuffi….cking, martysonic, pflanigan, inspectorj, and flex-blume. If I have missed you email us at scandalk12us@gmail.com. We are still working on notifications. Thanks for the archive at Old TV Time on Youtube. We didn’t wind up using anything from there for this one, but great stuff. We also used a clip of President Clinton but that turned out to be a right wing site, however, the clip and audio were real. If you would like to buy the book Barbarians at the PTA by Stephanie Newman, you can at Abe Books, a reseller of used and vintage books.

For our send off of Superintendent Powell we used Jacob Payne’s Page One Kentucky blog. His posts gave us a lot of information and more details that we could cover in sort form. The Powell story is well worth further reading. You can find more about Jacob Payne here: https://www.jacobpayne.com/ Also, you can follow him on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/cattleprod We also used Kentucky School News and Commentary’s article by Richard Day. You can find a key article here. We used a lot of various media sources for our Superintendent Hornsby reflection including the Baltimore Sun, the FBI, and other popular news outlets. An article on Parent Advocates was used as a reference and timeline and you can find that original story here. While Parent Advocates was a useful resource, after a little digging into what sort of organization was behind the website, you may want to look at the 990 of the parent organization as well as get to know key staff before you start using Parent Advocates as a source for arguments around the dinner table.
