Well, I, for one, think that Mayor Fenty is making the right moves... I think Janey had to go if for no other reason but he wasn't getting the job done...

I do not disagree one bit that the D.C. school system has over the years become bogged down with way too many managers who mismanage and too few good tachers...

Fenty has also hired a contracting firm with a proven track record to address the problems of getting the actual school buildings back into decent shape...

This is a good start and my hat is off to him... Now he'll have to boot out some entrenched middle managers who do purdy much nuthin'...

And he may have to work real hard with the Democratic D.C. Appropriations Committee and see if D.C. can get the funds (or use it's own, with permission) to explore optin' outta "No Clild Left Behind"...
