[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chen Ling "I think the current members of the school board care about the teachers and students. I think the other people running care as well, but caring is not enough -- you have to have a plan."

This really rubs me the wrong way. Who is Chen Ling to think he is the only one with a plan who can save APS? [i]What is that based on?[/i] It's so arrogant and more than a little Trumpian for a guy with literally zero experience in APS. [/quote]

He says what it is based on--his private sector experience with data. Based on his website, he also sounds like someone who has a hammer and thinks APS is just another nail.

The board doesn't run the school system, it provides direction and oversight--we need people who listen to the public, have a broad overview of the issues, and can ask good questions during staff presentations--not people who look at everything through a single lens or come in with pre-determined solutions. (That goes for all the candidates, not just Ling.)

I don't think Chen understands this. [/quote]
