NYC to Revamp its School System Yet Again
Oh sure they will folks. By ah..hiring consultants who were previously part of educational bureaucracies elsewhere or who are really just high-priced spin doctors? I don't think so, but hope springs eternal in a (ambitious) politician's heart.
"How much" says one bureaucrat quoted in the NY Times", can the system support increased autonomy and authority of school leaders without making the commensurate changes with respect to the external demands," asked Anthony Lombardi, the principal of P.S. 49 in Middle Village, Queens. "Ideally there should be a balance of accountability, autonomy and contractual flexibility."
It always amazes me when I hear stuff like this from supposed educators. Truly. I mean WTF does the foregoing blurb actually mean anyhow? Whatever you want it to I guess. My kids go to private schools.
