As a business owner, when I hire an executive for a supervisory position, the highest priority is given to his/her previous tack record. This is considered far above his academic record. Arne Duncan has led one of the nation’s largest school districts into utter oblivion. The system works only for the administrators and teachers while the students are deprived of an education that should be available because the funding for such an education has been supplied by the taxpayers.
Duncan was not asked to perform a miracle, he turned billions of dollars into a dysfunctional mess. Duncan speaks the “language” of an educator but what the children need are teachers. Duncan has no qualifications for his post and he will hasten a Chicago type education on the rest of the country. Check his record... It speaks for itself.
