I just want to mention one more time the utter disatisfaction I have for Mrs. Smith-Juarez. When she, the benefit of
smaller classes her entire life, said there was no evidence that they provided
an advantage, made all the worse because there is lots of peer reviewed studies
outlining their benefits it becomes hard for me to take anything she says seriously.
It is completely disingenuous of Mrs. Smith-Juarez to
present her self alternately as a small business owner and then as Executive
director of the Chartran foundation, emphasizing one while ignoring the other
when it is politically expedient to do so.
Was she really the best we could have done?
The Times Union is running an article about how she is
losing her day job as executive director of the Chartrand foundation, a group
by the way who doesn’t think teachers are professionals and neither does their
education and experience matter.
My problem however is while running for school board during
an interview with channel four she represented herself as a small business owner
(a restaurant) and didn’t mention once she was associated with the Chartrand
foundation. I believe she did so to distance herself from Gary Chartrand who was
in the middle of making one gaff after another as chairman of the state board
of education.
Was she really the best we could have done?
