Get past the amateurish hosting and so-so sound quality and you’ll hear about Bong Hits For Jesus, whether states can hold out if NCLB doesn’t reauthorize until 2009, if and how Reading First is a big story, the big Gates gifts to KIPP and DC students, and even a little bit about the Nelnet giveaway. Who was the month’s loser -- Gene Hickock, Reading First, or the Fordham folks?Listen and find out.
