Granted the gauntlet was thrown down to another, but I felt compelled to pick it up. My brain just leapt to “The Return of Cyril Burt” and it flowed from there. Thanks for the story – I sorta guess you can tell I liked it. blush

My first sequel! squee

I like! I had to look up Cyril Burt – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyril_Burt for others who don’t know. We didn’t cover him in Educational Psych. :) Everything is scary in its Orwellian plausibility, and I loved the names of the laws & acts.

Ya, Mr. Burt is kind of a blemish on the history of education. I kind of imagine he’s not mentioned.

And I mayhap have a gift for obfuscatory language – if I had the will for it, I’d make for a very unpleasant bureaucrat. :)

This has like a Welcome to the monkeyhouse kind of evil prophecy to it.
wow this is just goos.

i missed this sequel! well done, working with the facts given, hashing out an answer to my questions.. :)

Great little sequel to a great little story. Surprised no one’s sequelled again… there’s a novel in there somewhere!
