Association of school boards asks Rotherham 5 questions. Why bother?
The American School Board Journal interviews Andy Rotherham and asks him five questions?
Didn’t they use to do the five question thing on the Daily Show before Jon Stewart was in charge? The host, Craig Kilborn, would ask some celebrity dopey questions like, “Who left the cake out in the rain?”
Andy gets asked questions like, “How can school board members forge better relationships with union representatives in contract negotiations?”
Hmmm. That’s a tricky one. Good thing they brought in a wonker like Rotherham to get some insight.
As you would expect, Rotherham explains the teacher union role by speaking out of both sides of his mouth. We’re engaged in a ” a very public argument over teacher pay for performance” with Congressional leaders like George Miller on the one hand, but are not really “participants in the national education conversation” on the other.
Question six: Why bother?
