It took me 10 months to obtain the public records that shed light on this investigation. Allegany County at first tried to redact Ternent's name from the records, but the MPIA Compliance Board sided with me.

Ternent abruptly retired soon after I got the unredacted report.

Baltimore City public schools have our kids spending all kinds of time on the AI-powered Aleks platform for math. The amount of time they spend on that and other ed tech platforms is driving me nuts. I’m excited to read this paper.

Nope. He walked away. And I kept my mouth shut about redundancy. Big dude, would have been bad. If I’d have gotten the upper hand, though, I would have stood over him and yelled, “That’s RIGHT! Try THAT again with a guy who earns his keep creating uncluttered prose!”

Apparently Roscoe Mitchell was sitting there watching her do this. This piece is as beautiful as a sunset and as intense as a rat chewing on your face.
