Robert Bobb, state-appointed emergency financial manager for the Detroit Public Schools, said Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press" that cooperative leadership is necessary at the local, state and national level if the district is able to successfully implement sweeping reform efforts.
"Every major decision that I have made, I have been sued, either by local leaders or school board members," Bobb said. "There is a sense of urgency in urban school districts. You cannot sit back and not take care of what's needed for children." . . .
This space explores issues in public education policy, and it advocates for a commitment to and a re-examination of the democratic purposes of schools. If there is some urgency in the message, it is due to the current reform efforts that are based on a radical re-invention of education, now spearheaded by a psychometric blitzkrieg of "metastasizing testing" aimed at dismantling a public education system that took almost 200 years to build.

Arne had nothing but good thing to say about Bonus Bobb:
