[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]...so....I take all the back and forth to mean that the answer is no, Mary Siddall has never been a principal or even a teacher, and moreover doesn't need some silly certification.  So if those credentials are cast aside regarding who will head our new DC-taxpayer funded charter school, what are the future head's credentials?[/quote]

When Mary Siddall, 39, of Northwest learned of the principal vacancy at Ross Elementary School, she e-mailed several people whom she knew from her former work promoting education policy and got a recommendation for one candidate, who was included in the candidate pool.

More from Washington Post:

"I want someone who has high expectations for their students and someone who's a master teacher," said Siddall

Siddall, who interviewed the Ross candidates, e-mailed Rhee that she thinks the selection process should be improved. For example, Siddall said, the panelists should get copies of all résumés in advance and have more give-and-take with candidates during the interview.

"We should be able to have a conversation," she said. "We should be able to ask questions based on their individual résumés, and we should be able to follow up. Instead, it's completely one-sided and flat."[/quote]
