Cathleen Black is no longer the Chancellor of the schools in New York City, the countries largest public school system. But was is surprising in this article is that she was worked at a magazine company prior to getting this title and many were shocked when she was announced as Chancellor last fall. This to me is surprising how is the countries largest public school system having someone who has no formal educational training or background being put at the helm of this crisis? So for this article i think its a good idea that she was asked to leave and will be replaced. And as the article states it is only time to go forward and not backward. And with Cathleen out of the picture i think that it is a important first step in New York for them to address their school system. This just goes along to illustrate the point that we are letting anyone in to teach our kids and no run our schools, in our nations biggest city. This is not right and I am glad that they are doing something to fix this problem.
