If you've never checked out Dan Meyer's blog, well, I'll simply say:

Check it out.

Granted, his most recent post is based on someone else's post, but when you get right down to it, not much by way of information transfer has changed since Ferris Bueller's absence in the seminal film about his day off.

Mr. Meyer posts a snippet from Jeff Wasserman. Jeff says:

But Scott McLeod wants to know if:

And Scott asks two questions at the end of his post that makes the corned beef extra-lean:

Why aren't our school organizations expecting more of their employees? Are we that desperate for workers?
