I've written your blog for you.
17 days to go before the first megaschool opens its doors.

Come on, it's an easy one.
You just go on about the excellent facilities and genuinely exciting architecture.
If you ignore the moonbat regime that is prposed for the megaschool, who can blame you?
You are a very online blogger after all.
Worth reading Anushka Asthana in today's Observer/Guardian Unlimited: "No break, no bells in school of the future".
She goes out of her way to try to be fair, but there is no disguising the bravery or the radicalism of the new regime at Thomas Deacon Starship Academy.
