Reply #16: I remember that clown from when I lived in PDX

He was there for about 14 months of a 2 year contract and he spend 10 of those 14 months at conferences (paid for by the school district) out of town. So in reality he worked for about 4 months and then got a big fat severance package of about $500,000 over and above what he had already been paid. This is not a typo.

School administration is, in many cases, a parasitic scam.

It must run in the family. To give Jeff Canada his due, he advocates for kids and came to prominence in an area that was seriously messed up. I just don't think that his solutions, born of inner city decay and abandonment works in much of the US. Of course I say this with full knowledge that public education is dead in the US - it just hasn't had the grace to flatline yet.
