A review you won't hear on talk radio

An Iowa school superintendent sounds off on Charlie Sykes's 50 rules.

 UPDATE: You will read it on Sykes's blog, however. He's proud that educators disagree with him. Which proves his point, of course: He's smarter than they are.

Too bad he didn't choose to spend his time in the classroom, doing something worthwhile, instead of in the studio. Maybe it's the pay.

Sykes Doesn't Like School Superintendent's Review

No, it's just when he bombed out on his audition for "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?", he knew he never could face a 10 year old again.

Sykes hurts free speech

A number of times I have called to argue with Charlie. While "screened" his producer was cold and curt. "we will try to get you on" was his response. Only one time out of six I was put on the air, and it was right before a news break where I was given very little time.
