Does Chambers have a girlfriend? Or a steady side piece that isn't off of s menu? I feel if he could just focus all of that energy on a female, he would stop the fake activism crap.

Dr. Towns was more qualified not because of her phd. She was a teacher, a principal, deputy super intendent. She also was heavily involved in all decisions at the district in tenn.

Charter schools has no required qualifications For being principal or a teacher, and then she held a position solely responsible for raising money for a charter school. She has never even been involved in the decision making process whi”e Dr. Towns has. So who cares about the phd the only thing that matters is their experience which Dr. Towns had plenty more of
You got them mixed up. Brown has over 40 years in school systems, Towns about ten, she was in the banking business prior to her administrative school system career.

WAFB is the biggest bunch of race baiters in BR. They aren’t “news” at all. They use current events to stoke racial discourse. Nothing more. Would love to see their studios up in flames when they finally do enough to incite the riots they are hoping for.

Best news I’ve heard in sometime. All the best to her she’s got her work cut out. Though Drake setup a lot of it I’m sure he’ll advise her on plenty.

That is so incredibly racist, it boggles my mind how anyone cannot see how incredibly racist it truly is. I cant even imagine a white person saying something like that about not electing a white person. It would be so 1950’s, and yet here we are in the year 2020 still dealing with it on the other side of the spectrum.
When does society get it through their heads the lessons of history? You cannot in good conscience say you are against racial preferences, and then condone or rationalize racial preferences simply because you identify with the race In question. The principle is that which is fricked up, not which race is guilty of racial preference over the other race.

Everything is about race to Gravy. He pulled the same shite when the Metro Council was voting to fill the late Buddy Amoroso’s vacant seat. He and several black council members called Tara Wicker a “black Judas” when she voted with the white members to appoint Buddy’s widow to his seat, which has been their tradition in the past when a member passes away. Tara said that Buddy was her friend and that what she did was the right thing to do.

Gary deserved to be punched that night of Buddy's seat changing. Karma will get him...again.

This line of thinking is why public schools are so bad.
Why should someone spending time as a teacher have any bearing on their ability to be an effective administrator? It’s a completely different set of job requirements.
And the state qualifications to be a teacher are ridiculous - especially at the high school level.

He has a daughter but he sure the hell ain’t married. Some poor woman actually had sex with him and brought a child into this world.

Outside looking in, I don’t know if it matters if they hired Towns, or Brown, or Ronald McDonald. EBRP Schools are so messed up that, in my opinion, need to be treated just like some are suggesting with some police departments. Totally dismantle them, get rid of all the leadership, and start from ground zero.
Additionally, parental ownership of their kids outcomes needs drastic reform also.

It’s hilarious how fricking stupid that guy is. He’s a racist claiming to be fighting against racism.

By your logic, football coaches don’t have a better understanding of how to manage their team by previously playing the sport.
I would argue that most of the short list concerning successful coaches would have this noted “in their binder.” Are there outliers, sure. But I would argue that this is the norm.
In my experience, the same concept is transferable to administrators that have spent a decent portion of their career in the classroom.
I would argue that actually knowing what the hell is going on in the classroom is somewhat important.
IMHO, public education is besieged on three sides:
-liberal policy design from the Federal DOE
which includes limiting consequences for abhorrent behavior (SPED)
-moronic “accountability” models insisted on by the state legislature so they can seem as though they are “doing something”
-parents that blame educators for pretty much anything and everything. Their child is a victim and must be accommodated. In my experience, administrators that weren’t in the classroom are the ones to cave to these demands. Everything seemed to be viewed from the corporate HR mentality, as opposed to a common sense based one.
Just my .02.

I understand this perspective. And in theory, it should work. It actually does work in the private sector...but even in those cases, it takes the right leader in the right framework to garner that respect.
Education is historically tenure-based and believes that you can learn and lead more effectively knowing what it's like to be a teacher.

Your premise is flawed.
Superintendent would be more akin to a General Manager - not a coach.

Don’t get me wrong. I don’t think working ones way up the chain is a negative. I don’t think being a teacher should be counted against an applicant. I just don’t see it as a requirement nor do I see it as especially helpful as a superintendent.
It’s much more important for principals to have teaching backgrounds because they are managing teachers directly.
Superintendents don’t do that. They are basically the CEO of the system.
