BTW, what does it mean when you say “Caire’s history in education is second to none”? While it certainly appears to be meaningless, perhaps you could support your statement with some sort of ....facts? I think this would include some comparison and contrast where other seemingly more experienced educators among his peers are concerned. In short, Waaaska...for once in your miserable life, prove what you’re saying is true, or STFU.sargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14582415856684023846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-69741430735587574012016-04-29T14:25:17.181-05:002016-04-29T14:25:17.181-05:00One would think Waaaaska’s simplemindedness was t...One would think Waaaaska’s simplemindedness was tactical in nature...but perhaps he’s truly simple? sargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14582415856684023846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-65864607990107316582016-04-29T10:19:40.833-05:002016-04-29T10:19:40.833-05:00If there is money to be made off reforming educati...If there is money to be made off reforming education it is money well earned. Apple is very profitable because it produces great products that people want. BTW: Kaleem Caire's history in education is second to none. And no, teachers unions do not exist to improve student achievement; they exist to benefit its teacher members.

So the teachers unions dont want to improve black performance? think maybe people who deviote their whole life to education would know more than some one who doesnt?

Hence, the word "choice." The Madison public schools had a chance to adopt a charter school proposed by the Madison Urban League aimed at the under-served black population. The school district, beholden to the teachers union, turned it down. Now (most likely) that school will be revived. But not under Madison school district auspices. They had their chance.David Blaskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14746169836462702879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-7903869128709555782016-04-27T07:33:06.591-05:002016-04-27T07:33:06.591-05:00Please look closely at the new ESSA.

In fact all I see is over the top support for Hillary. Hillary supports school take overs, unaccountable charters, fast track teacher certification.

While he and his appointed representative, Demond Means, were assuring the voters they will do nothing to interfere with MPS, along comes Darling’s former chief of staff, Gary Bennett, hired by the UW system to oversee OEO with power to bypass local school boards and establish charter schools in both Madison and Milwaukee. Bennett, whose educational background from long ago is three years teaching second graders in Las Vegas, can run rings around two school districts led by women with Harvard doctorates in education. http://tinyurl.com/h2oarajDominique Paul Nothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12081403597565070566noreply@blogger.com
