Shakespeare Anagram: Henry VIII
From Henry VIII:
The gentleman is learn’d, and a most rare speaker;
To nature none more bound; his training such,
That he may furnish and instruct great teachers,
And never seek for aid out of himself. Yet see,
When these so noble benefits shall prove
Not well disposed, the mind growing once corrupt,
They turn to vicious forms, ten times more ugly
Than ever they were fair.
Shift around the letters, and it becomes:
The director of An Inconvenient Truth lent aid to ruthless enemies of government-funded education.
Davis Guggenheim’s Waiting for Superman should seek to learn the inherently right way: reform relentless poverty.
Instead, it prefers to foment barbed attacks on unions as anathemas. Why? Why?
Remember, the real superheroes teach in our schools.

Thanks, Asher.
I really like the way this one turned out.

The modern nation was reassured that no child would be left behind, yet they are, it seems, at alarming rates. Even with increases in government money, our shrunken educational system, once the world’s best, forsakes millions of the poorer unfortunate children. Guggenheim presents a perspective that offers a remedy through further innovation.

That’s a great anagram. Welcome back, Dharam!
Here’s another one:
—
Sorry. Free thinkers may agree with a problem, not the mythical solutions. We must endure and intervene. Don’t ignore noteworthy public schools that already have higher standards. Hurting communities need franker reform. Vehement scapegoating of teachers helps no one. None. Differentiate between severe issues and truthful smart solutions.

Another anagram:
Friends,
Having not seen the recent school film, I’m at a disadvantage. I blended other reviews to make the anagram sentences. There are repercussions for presuming without any true information, and I regret my outspokenness. Furthermore, I usually trust my
brother-in-law, an enlightened southern schoolteacher, who’s offended by the plot events.

And another:
Although you did not see the film, the impressive anagram’s handiwork reverberates a succinct nutshell summary that even Mr. Director would consider faithful knowledge. No return apology’s ever needed for representing honest opinions on this website. The only cause for resentment, then, is the offense that your anagrams are better than mine.

Oh, very nice! I should post that one on the blog proper (with full credit to you, of course).
