Chutzpah

The Chancellor wrote to teachers the other day about the Little Rock 9. I found it amazing that he mentioned them, because hardly anyone ever talks about history or social studies at Tweed. But what chutzpah, because he talked about how the system has done so much to lessen injustice and inequalities by raising scores and closing gaps, yet we all know the statistics are inaccurate. Read about it here in the nysun
By the way you'll see nothing coming out of Tweed in terms of any initiative or professional development to compliment the Ken Burns' documentary. This despite the fact that they are swimming in History Grant money
