On the recordSeptember 10, 1998
So they are serving two masters. Really the school administrators should be not serving a master but should be working with the parents and the community leaders and their community designing school programs that are most appropriate for the specific needs and the special challenges and the special opportunities for kids in their community. They do not need to be looking to Washington or trying to figure out, you know, this is what Washington wants me to do, but I know this is what we want to do in this community. How do I reconcile these things. They ought to be solely focused on building their schools with their local community leaders and their local parents.
