Hollow, Preposterous Babble

Cranky in the Labyrinth

John Butcher (AKA Cranky) is a modern-day Theseus who plunges into the labyrinth of Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) practices and regulations — a task no normal mortal could undertake without losing his sanity.

On Cranky’s Blog he delved yesterday into the wording of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that VDOE signs with schools or school divisions denied accreditation due to the poor testing performance of its students.

The language of the MOU template used by VDOE, he writes, “is ridiculous on its face. … hollow, preposterous babble” designed to accomplish nothing. Read his descent into bureaucratic madness here.
