According to Joe

Joe Gedan

Charter board needs a review

Charter schools are one of our cares

So don't pick directors by musical chairs.

You'll again lose

Are the ones that a new director shares.

Daily headlines inspire the poet in Joe Gedan, a retired U.S. magistrate judge who lives in Honolulu. His observations on the news appear on Sundays and Fridays.
