WELCOME TO TIMBURKEWATCH! Well, it was bound to happen, right? Eventually, Mr. Burke would say so much (and leave out so much more) that a group of people would organize to watch his every word, and expose his every half-truth or worse. So welcome to timburkewatch.blogspot.org where we watch the watcher. Unlike Mr. Burke's (and Mr. Herme's) early efforts on their web site, we will identify ourselves right now. Two District 192 residents will be contributing to this site: Dan Privette, Tony Olson. Maybe more in the near future. We've been involved locally in a number of different ways. Dan is a former school board member. Tony is a teacher in District 196 (Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan). This will be an interesting effort for us. How do we expose someone for being a know-nothing when he has already admitted he knows nothing about schools -
Questionaire response: Tim Burke
Saturday August 30 - Thisweek newspaper
Question #3 of 5
3) What specific areas of curriculum, from kindergarten through high school, can be improved upon?
Answer from Mr. Burke: I don’t know.
It should be easy, right? Well, we hope so. But of course, Mr. Burke is a sharp cookie. He knows how to stop short of outright lies (most of the time) and avoids direct personal attacks (instead spreading only what he's "heard from friends", so we'll have to keep our eyes and ears open. Again, welcome. Come back often. There is plenty to go over.
