Susan Ohanian summarizes the Atlanta test scoring scandal at: http://susanohanian.org/outrage_fetch.php?id=1020
I found the links and commentary extremely disturbing. The lack of moral leadership by our school leaders is appalling. In addition the leadership style of some of these school leaders is from the dark ages. The authoritarian leadership style exhibited in this case and in too many school systems I visit should not be tolerated. It makes me want to be Howard Beale in the1976 film Network where actor Peter Finch plays a news announcer who gets fed up and starts yelling, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore." His followers go to the windows of their homes and apartments and start yelling the same phrase.
I think it is time to go to your windows folks.
