[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whatever your opinion about the remedies that Dan Reed floated in his opinion piece in the WashPo of a couple weeks back - he raised serious questions worthy of discussion/debate.  The arrogance in Dr. Starr's initial (off-the-cuff, uncanned and therefore more authentic?) response blew me away:

When speaking at the Silver Spring Citizens Advisory Board, Dr. Starr was asked what he thought of the Dan Reed piece.  Dr. Starr's response: "There's no shortage of self-professed experts on education because they went to school."

Well, he does have a point. Just read these threads to see how many "education experts" visit this forum![/quote]

New poster here. So.....it's cool that he attacked Dan Reed personally instead of providing an intelligent and thoughtful response to the question? He's the subject matter expert, right? If he really gave such a flippant answer, that would lead me to believe: (1) he doesn't think his audience is worthy of an intelligent response; (2) he doesn't have an intelligent response to give; or (3) he is a horrible public speaker.

Sounds like he had the opportunity to address the criticism head on and explain why his current approach is the best one. But instead he just chose to be dismissive of the writer. Doesn't sound like a great leader to me.
