I CAN name those characters!!! That's Kukla and Ollie from one of my all time favorite kiddie shows, "Kukla, Fran, and Ollie"!!!!! They have their own website, "Kuklapolitan"!

Did she say why she left law for teaching?

Most people don't consider prep, meetings etc work. And when the kids don't study, parents are never blamed...

kukla looks like Joel Klein. There is quite a resemblance between the two. I guess Randi must be Ollie.

Chaz,

You're absolutely right. And I think Randi looks like Ollie too, if Ollie's the one in front. I'll bet Mike Bloomberg is maneuvering both of them too. I saw the interview and Randi did not have one word to say about ATR teachers.

Yes of course, it's Kukla and Ollie. And here's the site Ms. Tsouris cites:

For the record, I was the first one to identify Kukla and Ollie. I just did it in the wrong forum.

So that's 5 extra credit points for getting it right...and minus 5 for not following directions.
