[LIT] Rudy Crew

AS the dogs and I came in this morning form out walk, “Tony Brown’s Journal” was playing on the TV.  The fellow speaking immediately caught my attention—I sat down to listen.  I only heard the final ten minutes or so, but I wish I’d heard the whole program.  The man was Rudy Crew, super of the Miami-Dade County schools.  Is he “for real”?  He was saying things I’ve thought for several years now, since returning to Little Rock.  I looked on the internet, and “Tony Brown’s Journal” plays at different times around the country on PBS stations.  I hope you can catch it later today—you’ll find yourself having a conversation with the TV screen.  Has anyone read Dr. Crew’s new book?  Here’s the TV listing for the “Tony Brown’s 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 man’s superintendency, what’s your take?.  After ten minutes, I want to apply for a job in Miami!
