WJCU 88.7 FM: The Diary of a Mad Professor (iconoclastic, heretic, gadfly) palaver, wry, pedagogue, and erudite, pontifications, diatribes, harangues, and demagoguery with personal musings, ruminations, lamentations, and VIPs (views, insights, and perspectives) about the state of schooling and education in the United States.
The Mad Professor is an avant-garde and bellwether when it comes to the conundrums of education.
The Mad Professor uses parody, satire, and caricatures in his explanations about what is wrong with our education system today. He is definitely a bon vivant and raconteur when it comes to schooling and education. As Mark Twain said, “I never let schooling interfere with my Education.”
Cutting-edge research and innovative best practices share ideas and experiences and education knowledge to drive school reform!
You will become addicted to the Mad Professor! He is fervent and unequivocal with his philosophy and message about education issues!
Professor monologues: twelve/thirty minute harangues.
