Ok, so last week we saw a story or two out of New York describing how the teachers union gave city council members cue cards telling them what questions to ask during a hearing on charter schools. Yes, that definitely makes for an interesting discussion. But a colleague of mine here at Fordham caught something that made us chuckle a bit, with disturbed amusement. Gotham Schools's Flickr page displays some of these actual cue cards. Sadly, slide #6 uses the term "steakholders." That's right. Now granted, someone had penciled it in, and we obviously don't know who. But....if it's true, it's pretty disturbing. I mean, yes there ARE INDEED actual steakholders, as we can see here. But I don't believe that's what the cue-card author was attempting to say.
