But I have to say - I watched the tape of the hearing and got the impression at the time that he thought he was hinting at a dystopian possibility. Furthermore, it seemed like the chairperson (Nolan?)interpreted it that way. This may all be clearer on tape where you can see closeups of people's expressions, and eye flashes and stuff, than it was live for people in the room who were farther away from than the camera.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2586988941850907367.post-18851742301967204492013-11-27T21:44:24.519-05:002013-11-27T21:44:24.519-05:00Well, I supposed it's better that the School B...Well, I supposed it's better that the School Boards Association walked back Little's comments. I don't really believe it was all a "cautionary tale". What remains is the poor job the Association is doing in representing their members. All other states and districts that looked closely at inBloom have decided to walk away. At this point the inBloom entity can't be economically viable. Little and his bosses ought to know that and be waiving a red flag instead of trying to smooth over the obvious failings of the whole enterprise. In the end it will be school board members who take the heat.Patrick J. Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08492185889267123863noreply@blogger.com
