    from Candy...Parenting is the hardest thing I have ever done, and I would not feel comforatble grading someone else as there are too many variables at play that I may not even know about....however, some type of voluntary request for feedback from teachers seems reasonable.

    Because leading schools out of chronic failure is harder than managing a successful school - often requiring more creative problem-solving abilities and stronger leadership, among other skills - the supply of principals capable of doing the work is tiny.

    While looking through the governor's education policy, it seems as though higher education is more of his focus than public K-12 education. This brief, from the governor's websites, outlines his view of higher education needs of the state.

There are several signatories who include, Corey Booker the Mayor of Newark, NJ and Iris Chen; I have a Dream Foundation, CEO. Insightful, inspirational, and lots of resources!!

    The author questions Cathie Black new role as NYC chancellor. Raises argument of who is better suited to lead schools based on previous career experiences. Perhaps the most objectionable aspect of the corporate takeover of public education is the implicit assumption that business leaders know what they're doing and the rest of us don't.
