When I first heard about her, I thought it was like putting the fox in charge of the hen house. The more I think about it, it's putting a hen in charge of the hen house.
I don't doubt she knows how to teach at the class room level, or maybe even run a school. Does she have any idea how to run a multibillion dollar organization with a six figure staff? Does she (or even Bla himself) have any inclination to bring the teachers union to heal? Who's really going to be running the school system?
Educators/Education must be educator/student first, money second. Bloomberg put that the other way around.
The surrounding metro pays an incredible amount more for education than the city of New York does.
I feel like ever since the DOE has existed it's approach was give a little to the few who care, and ignore the rest.
That's not a wholesome education system, nor what educational boards served (on a volunteer basis) to do.
She actually has experience in NYC teaching, and holds the Educational Administration License necessary for the job.
What a shocker!
as my cousin who is a teacher once said...don't really matter....the chancellor works for the mayor's interest.
teacher's union has to get in a long line. Every other union wants a raise. The question is who is the 1st union to get a raise...that will benchmark ALL the other unions demanding that at the minimum. To be frank, there is not enough cheese to go around
