SUBSCRIPT: Rumor that Krab, Umbridge to start own testing company to get 'Common Core' right
Rumor is that Sponge Bob was hysterical when he learned that the Common Core testing would take place every day at Mr. Krab's emporium.The Washington Post's blogger Valerie Strauss recently conducted an excellent interview with SpongeBob, published in a recent Answer Sheet column (http://tinyurl.com/6xfussu). I added a comment that included some information that might not yet be available to members of the press.
My comment:
SpongeBob is an inspiration. Impeccable ethics, deeply compassionate, loyal friend, true master of his profession.
Quite a contrast with his boss, Eugene Krab, who values profit above all else. (I know that the contents of the Krabby Patty are secret, but the name certainly gives the impression that one of the ingredients is crab meat. How can Mr. Krab be comfortable with that?)
Substance was unable to confirm that the photographs above depicts Krab counting his first installment on Race to the Top money following a secret meeting with U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan.The rumor is that Mr. Krab is planning a move into the field of education, intending to start up his own testing company, one that will specialize in developing computer-based formative assessments to be given several times a day in all subjects, including art, PE, and recess activities, based on the new common core standards.
Krab's partner in the Common Core Learning Project is reported to be Umbridge (right) with security details handled by her former colleague (left).Former Hogwarts headmaster Dolores Umbridge will be his new partner.
