Boat "Elephant Ears"
The uber-hipsters at Pitchfork have a review of the new album by Boat online. Check out this quote.
"...this self-deprecating reminiscence of a failed Teach for America teacher more believably depicts the Chicago Public School District than anything in the Tribune, which recently ran a story lauding the city's improved test scores on a brand new test without ever seriously bothering to assess whether students actually, you know, learned more. (They "liked the new color format," we're told.) Everybody wins with such pleasing tales-- except the kids."
Love it when Pitchfork starts talking education policy--I'm sure their staff is filled with ex-TFAers. I'm off to download the track.
