[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly this makes me like him more.  I like that he’s not afraid to challenge the politicians and wont roll over for them.[/quote]

He won’t roll over for the Board of Education, the State Board of Education, the Inspector General or the Maryland Courts.  No one is going to tell him what to do and laws don’t apply.  Brilliant. [/quote]

NP.  That's not what I took away from his statement.  I think that when we have someone who can't think but rather only reacts to politicians and groups who think they have special influence, we don't have free thinkers.  I am a fan.  He has a backbone.  He realizes he won't make everyone happy.  But he's trying to do what he thinks is best for our kids and community given the resources he has at his disposal.[/quote]

There has to be a balance.  You don't want someone who takes actions designed to accommodate the noisiest complainers at the expense of other kids and communities who don't tend to advocate in the same way.  But you also don't want someone who thinks that they always know best and have nothing to learn or gain from listening to others and considering their perspectives, and who takes any disagreement with them as "if I'm upsetting people it must mean I'm doing something right.". Unfortunately it seems like he is way too far towards that end of the spectrum.[/quote]
