I thought I would respond with just how big a problem even talking to this person is. Kaya Henderson is a criminal. Literally - a criminal. She was at the meeting where Rhee was told of the widespread cheating. And they did nothing. That will get some scrutiny if she's picked. So I bet she won't be picked and wouldn't take it if she was. She has to know the cheating scandal would get new legs if she got tabbed for the DOE gig. But we'll see.reality-based educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712885202661371924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-25878740198490524622013-12-04T20:11:00.546-05:002013-12-04T20:11:00.546-05:00I prefer Cashin, I think, although I would take St...I prefer Cashin, I think, although I would take Starr. None of them are perfect, but surely better than a Rhee-acolyte. I have a hard time seeing de Blasio picking Rhee's deputy. I think that story was a DFER/deformer plant. But it doesn't matter - it's good to get public and let BdB know what will happen if he picks someone like that. It won't be pretty.reality-based educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712885202661371924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-38129103634102396992013-12-04T11:07:49.222-05:002013-12-04T11:07:49.222-05:00Totally shocked when I read about this in the Time...Totally shocked when I read about this in the Times. Maybe he is trying to stir the pot or tell his enemies he viewed all sides of the issue. I can't imagine her even being on a list. Still crossing my finger for Starr. I have been following Montgomery County before Starr took over because they turned down RTTT funding in order to keep a fair and balanced evaluation system that didn't include test scores. It is called PAR. What I like about it is that teachers are part of the decision-making process while the teacher in question still gets all due process rights. Many times a year of staff development is offered. But I have taught in many schools where teachers were there to collect a pay check and nothing more. These are the same teachers who will test prep (or cheat) until the cows come home and might be labeled exceptional. I think every school knows who the weak link is and why principals are afraid to start a paper trail. I do however feel the committee should be elected and not appointed. I no longer trust principals or union reps. However the union rep should be part of that committee. <br /><br />Starr btw was the first person to call for a moratorium on testing until students and teachers were familiar with the new curriculum. This is a guy is ahead of everyone else when it comes to common sense. <br /><br />As for public forums.....I can see it turning into a circus.
