Sid Glassner
During the first two segments of Inside Education Sid discussed the Arne Duncan turnaround with regard to teachers; The Great Common Core Textbook swindle; and the possibility of performing an evaluation on Arne Duncan by administering a test to the 4300 people who work at the Department of Education — good tongue in cheek thinking!
A discussion on the re-authorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act was introduced and will be continued in future shows as the bills in both houses will enter the conference stage.
Rich Girard: The candidate
Rich Girard was Sid’s guest and the discussion was wrapped in the campaign Rich will run for a seat on the Manchester School Board. Rich described the three areas of his concern which he will address if elected to the board; transparency, communication and parents as partners in the education of their children.
