The rhetoric behind the scene remains. One cannot do with out the other. Private vs. Public. To remove one is to dismiss the other. Considering RE Chicago Mayoral hopeful position is just a pretense to get the position and then from that standpoint have a team of supporters to put in power to control the "Public Education" funds. The CEO's position in the school is such an influential position that often times, as any leader, can make or break a school. As professor Barber in his article confronts the issue, "the future of liberal education is the same thing as the future of public education." My position is that we need to RE-refocus and understand the proper concepts and keep what is public, public and maintain what is private, private especially where multiculturalism exist in a commercialized and consumer driven America. Barber is the Gershon and Carol Kekst professor of civil society and director of Democracy Collaborative at the University of Maryland. One aught to consider his position on the fact as well. website: http://www.aasa.org/SchoolAdministratorArticle.aspx?id=14096&terms=Taking+the+publ...<br />Located on the American Association of School Administrators websiteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
