AS the dogs and I came in this morning form out walk, Tony Browns Journal
was playing on the TV. The fellow speaking immediately caught my attentionI
sat down to listen. I only heard the final ten minutes or so, but I wish Id
heard the whole program. The man was Rudy Crew, super of the Miami-Dade County
schools. Is he for real? He was saying things Ive thought for several
years now, since returning to Little Rock. I looked on the internet, and Tony
Browns Journal plays at different times around the country on PBS stations.
I hope you can catch it later todayyoull find yourself having a conversation
with the TV screen. Has anyone read Dr. Crews new book? Heres the TV
listing for the Tony Browns Journal week of Oct. 7:
Dr. Rudy Crew, superintendent of Miami-Dade County Public Schools, discusses
public education in America, the subject of his book, "Only Connect: The Way to
Save Our Schools."
Some of you on the list who have worked in NYC or Miami under this mans
superintendency, whats your take?. After ten minutes, I want to apply for a
job in Miami!
