[quote=Anonymous]Which is another reason I think he opted to take this position. Oakland is going to fight him. The city is full of activists. DC is full of passive carpetbaggers and the long time residents are not really stakeholders so anything goes. [quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On a cursory google, I like that he's worked in a mixed charter-public environment and has at least some neutrality/leans positive towards charters.

I do not like this alleged culture of patronage:  https://classroomstruggle.org/2015/02/11/antwan-wilsons-idea-of-cutting-administration-pad-the-top-chop-from-the-bottom/[/quote] There is no neutrality. There is an agenda...the article below shows why he was selected.

This is interesting, "Since he arrived, Mr. Wilson has focused on sending more tax dollars away from the central office and directly to schools, and he negotiated a contract giving teachers a 14 percent raise, their largest in 15 years, although Oakland teachers are still paid less on average than educators in surrounding counties. Mr. Wilson is also overhauling five of the city’s most troubled campuses, moving principals and introducing new academic and enrichment programs.

He is working with both district schools and charter leaders to negotiate an agreement to meet the same standards for academics, discipline and enrollment criteria."

I find it funny that his opponents criticize him for advocating for a common application system like our MySchool when it was so well received here. [/quote][/quote]
