[quote=Anonymous][quote]that's a lot of speculation. plus irrelevant to how well he is cleaning house, leveraging the audit to redo curriculum, improving enriched curricula in ES and MS homeschools. None of this was on the table under Starr, just Achievement Gap and bottom half of student talks. 
It seems like he took his first 12 months to assess the situation and had to keep the ball rolling on Starr's stuff (FOCUS study about URMS in HGCs) but saw the constant poor feedback from parents and teachers on C2.0. Always need a third party opinion on that big of a change, as leverage.

but the slow rollout plus now a 12 month additional delay is absurd.[/quote]

Agree that Smith is better than Starr but Starr was pretty bottom of the barrel. Starr would have been trying to hide the audit, trying to ignore the audit and doing anything to avoid admitting what a huge screw up. At least Smith didn't let the central office idiots circle the wagons to protect themselves. He needs to clean the entire house, its a cesspool. I'm guessing he realizes how bad it is now after the Lang/Discovery fiasco and the awful letter from his chief academic officer about it.

Smith needs to reverse back to before Starr's time. Bring back a focus on achievement for ALL kids. Embrace parents that care about education and want to help their kids by making the materials accessible and providing clear rubrics that have high expectations. Stop ignoring the high performing schools. Stop hiding the low performing students and start increasing the interventions that help them. [/quote]
