He wanted to change boundaries for the simple reason that it would hide the disadvantaged children and their needs would simply disappear into school grades of C or better. He did ruin careers and not just the careers of people who may have needed to depart, but those who challenged him or his staff with facts and the knowledge of what is best for children. He moved principals who had been effective in their schools and even some who showed they were up to the task. He did all of this while promoting bullies and people who have no idea how to teach and reach children through positive education. He has created a negative hostile environment that affects not just teachers but parents and children as well. Step into a school once in a while and you will see. So what if the teachers on his focus groups think he is great. Why do you think they are hand picked by his cabinet and regional superintendents. Take it from me, disageee and your tenure will be short lived on these committees or in your job. Wake the heck up. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
