The report by Brooklyn-based pundit Alexander Russo that he was going to take advantage of his Harvard education to become a Teach for America teacher was greeted as the April Fool's joke that it was by most of his readers.

In addition to his "District299.com" blog, supported by the Chicago Tribune, Russo also pundits nationally.
