[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At first glance it sounds like centralizing hiring is a bad idea but it's really not. And based on these findings it may be sorely needed. The move would also show that FCPS is serious about ending its racist practices. Clearly their principals can't be trusted to do the right thing in terms of hiring.

I taught in a system with centralized hiring. At the time I didn't get it...thought it was awful even. But in retrospect I didn't notice any of the BS I see when principals hire their buddies, the cutie pies or the Whites with less experience and credentials.[/quote]

This wasn't a study for Fairfax, it was intended to be an anonymous examination of a district. There were a lot of factors not examined, do there's not much that Fairfax can learn from the study as it is.[/quote]

If they're willing to be HONEST, there is MUCH that Fairfax can learn from this study.[/quote]

This study covered one year--it was five years ago.  Doubtful that Harvard would have published it had it reached a different conclusion.[/quote]

Easy to justify and dismiss findings when you're not the one been treated adversely.

Do you really believe FCPS had just one bad year of racist practices--which just so happened to be the year the study is based on????

Harvard does not publish bullshit, half-assed research.[/quote]
