Forget Billy Mays- Public-Mad Mike Petrilli is the new pitch man for Teacher-B-Gone Safety System???. How does "it's better than Ben & Jerry's" work as a tag line? Maybe he can sell students on the merits of cheese sandwiches (wash it down with bottled water) or get more ambitious people to be teachers and crash tea parties on the side. If only they had standards. Meanwhile, the Florida Education Association sends a message, but are they ready to be a third party? Only time will tell.
