  • @BE_PURE Thank you! in reply to BE_PURE #
  • About this appointment of Cathie Black as #JoelKlein #039;s replacement as chancellor: Come on! #
  • The status quo crowd opposes idea of people outside of the ed industrial complex running schools b/c they don't want outsiders, new ideas #
  • It is that simple. Klein has proven in eight years that one needs not have an Ed.D to run a school district or be a former teacher. #
  • Running a district involves actually being a strong manager, understanding how to lead, institute #edreform do it w/o needless rancor. #
  • The calls for a "strong instructional leader" obviously shows that the folks demanding this have no clue about what the job is. #
  • If being a strong instructional leader mattered, then so many school districts wouldn't be dropout factories. Period. End of story #edreform #
  • If anything, there is little in the career path that teaches anyone how to run a district. #
  • Consider that most school principals don't actually control their budgets or hiring of teachers. #
  • Teaching hirings and placements are controlled by the central office, set up by the CBA, and governed by state laws. #
  • In short, nothing about being a principal or being a teacher makes one qualified to run a school. #
  • Essentially, the ed status quo must stop this nonsense. Let people into ed who are passionate about stemming the dropout crisis, who care #
  • for kids, who are entrepreneurial, talented and can lead. This includes great teachers, this includes great outsiders. #
  • Let the Steve Evangelistas and the Joel Kleins and the Jaime Escalantes run schools. Stop with the nonsense. #
  • Let's make this clear: If the experts were actually experts in education, 1.3 million kids wouldn't be dropping out every year. #
  • @mikekaechele Yeah. The record speaks for itself. You may disagree w/his approach. It isn't a perfect record. But the success is provable. in reply to mikekaechele #
