Brooks "practicing" education

In the Journal this morning, link, APS Supt Winston Brooks is upset that he has not been offered a seat at the table where decisions will be made. Instead, Secretary of Public Education Hanna Skandera, will give his seat to an out-of-stater.

"As someone who's practiced education for 38 years, I disagree that this group brings a wealth of education experience to the state, when in fact I don't think any of them have actually practiced education," Brooks said. "They've been education consultants to governors and legislators and they've been policymakers, but I don't know that any of them have ever practiced education."

What do you suppose "practicing education" means?

When was the last time Winston Brooks taught a class?

One of the first things Brooks did when he took over control of the APS, was to return decision making power to 6400 Uptown Blvd. Whatever seats teachers and other interest holders had, were pulled out from under them.

It would appear that what went around, has come around
for Brooks. Now he knows what it feels like to be dissed by arrogance.
