[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because one person's hands has worked so well. :roll:[/quote] I've followed DC politics for over 25 years and read about the history. The city has gone back and forth several times between having one person in charge and having a school board in charge. Neither has worked particularly well. Anyone remember General Becton?[/quote] The dynamic that goes back and forth is that when a school board is running the schools, people say nothing gets done because everything is too politicized, we need someone immune from political pressure to make the hard choices. When we have someone who has a free hand people complain that they're not responsive to what the public wants. We never seem to hit that sweet spot.[/quote]
