Many people were stunned when Mayor Bloomberg put Cathie Black into the postion of school chancellor to run one of the largest public school districts in New York City, with no previous education experience. Her time with the district did not work out and Mayor Bloomberg asked her to resign. She had the lowest approval rating, 17%, for someone in Bloomberg's administration.
I like the fact that Mayor Bloomberg and Cathie Black took action, and did the right thing, when they realized her positon was not working. Mayor Bloomberg said he took full responsibility for the fact that it did not work out, but now it is time to move forward. I also liked that they both realized that it was becoming more about Cathie Black than the kids, and now it is time to put the kids first.
