Cathleen Black Is Out as City Schools Chancellor was an article in the New York Times. It was very interesting to read because we were talking about the chancellor of Washington D.C. and about how educators need to be there for the students and not for themselves in class this week. Cathleen Black was the chancellor of the New York Schools and is being replaced by Joel I. Klein. It seems to me from this article that Black wasn’t a very good chancellor. She had offended many people throughout her work. Her popularity was down to 17 percent when she was done. She also didn’t have much experience in the area of education. In contrast, Klein, the man that is replacing her, has done a lot with education. He has attended public meetings about schools, has been an educator for many of years and has many other qualifications. I thought it was interesting to read in the article that Black was more about herself and not for the students. It said that she was asked how she felt and she said that she felt good. I’m not sure how she can feel good knowing that she wasn’t doing a very good job. It kind of shows where her priorities were. Overall, it was an excellent article and I recommend others to read it like some one recommended it to me.
