QUOTABLES

Who needs to educate who?

Funniest quote of the day comes from CPS bureaucrat Bob Runcie after the board was forced to back off some of its planned school closings in the face of widespread community opposition.

[Chief administrative officer Bob] Runcie says CPS wants to educate parents on what a high quality education looks like...“And raise their level of expectations in terms of what they should be demanding in the quality of education in their schools.” (Catalyst & WBEZ)

Problem for Runcie, Huberman, and Daley is that parents have already raised their level of expectations in terms of what they demand from the leadership of their public school system.
