[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]I also think it's important for DCPS to have stability. Kaya Henderson may not be everything that everyone wants - who is - but she's not the devil incarnate as people on this board are making her out to be.

I also disagree with this "guilt by association" standard that seems to be applied here. [b]That is, if you're not someone who people like (Graham, Post etc) and you advocate keeping Henderson around, that that automatically disqualifies Henderson. [/b]It's a childish attitude.

Frankly, if I'm going to take that attitude, I'll apply it to the WTU. Ran amok in DCPS for decades and now finally has met some pushback. Perhaps I'll just take anyone who's willing to stay that course with WTU - I think that means Henderson. [/quote]

I don't know if the bolded part above was directed at me, but I didn't state my opinion of Henderson. I simply think that Graham's financial interest in for-profit education should be disclosed and considered when evaluating his opinions about DCPS. I could write an essay explaining why I think the connection between DCPS and the for-profit education sector needs critical examination, but this thread isn't the place.

I would LOVE to read that.  Especially any connection with using DCPS as a pipeline for Kaplan for-profit "colleges".[/quote]
