Despite the protests, Ron Huberman — who just two years ago was pegged as Daley’s appointed man on the Chicago Transit Authority and is now taking over the CEO spot in the Chicago Public Schools — won’t be changing much. That’s largely because the same man will still be in charge, Mayor Daley. Even the Chicago Teacher’s Union (CTU) knows that nothing good comes of fighting Daley’s will - or at least it seems that way. CTU President Marilyn Stewart pretty much laid down the guns, saying she would prefer somebody with some actual education experience, but that she, for one, welcomes her new handsome overlord. (Is that two Simpsons quotes in two days?)

 But let’s look at the bright side shall we. There’s a lot of experience that Huberman can bring to our neighborhood schools, and wherever my daughter ends up going, I’m sure it will be brighter and better because of what he can bring in. Take, for example:

• Introducing a new threat in high school men’s basketball and football, a new league will be formed out of the old standard-bearer Red West and will be rechristened, The Pink Line.
• For streamlining and updating purpses, during off-peak hours, four core classes will be shut down to one. During peak hours, two classes. Classes will resume better than before in 2014.
• Leave home early; go home late, alternate!
• After modifications are done on the north west side school (presently causing any classwork to come to a near-grinding halt), students will be able to cruise along at speeds of up to 60 miles per hour.
• Expect integral schools not serving white kids to be shut down.
