PG:...My posting to http://Pittsblog.blogspot.com. <br /><br />PG: "But Thompson's problem, board members said, is not what he did but what he failed to do -- in particular, his failure to close a widening gap in achievement between the district's white students and black students."<br /><br />That's at odds with: "...two districts ... have in common, Boards prefer Superintendents work with the system. No rocking the boat allowed."<br /><br />I'm certain Dr. T is in trouble because he didn't rock the boat enough. People I know are hacked off about him because troubles were put to his attention. He talked with these 'whistle blowers' and saw their perspectives. Dr. T was in agreement with the needs to fix the troubles. He says the right things. He has the right feelings for the situations. But, 3-months, 6-months, and 2-years later, nothing changes. To be fair, little changes in some areas but nothing on other instances.<br /><br />Situations in PPS are unlike Mt. Lebo's. We, the people, in the city want positive change. Different sticking points, IMNSHO.Mark Rauterkushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17157914569686528007noreply@blogger.com
