So where were these people when Carol Johnson was appointed in a similar process? I haven't had time to compose a more comprehensive post, but to comment quickly: The lack of an "advanced" degree in education should not be a liability. Indeed, the opposite might be true because of the need to conform in order to make it though the system. I once asked a nationally known educational historian if they knew of any educational departments in the country that promoted free and open discussion ... they responded negatively (If you know of any please email me, I'm looking for a job). What is important is an understanding of contemporary educational policies and their alternatives. What worried me about Mr. Jennings was that he did not appear to be knowledgeable and he stated that he was going to continue with Dr. Johnson's ineffective polices. BTW, why shouldn't public education be under attack? Michael Atherton Prospect Park REMINDERS: 1. Think a member has violated the rules?
