Cashin is a political animal who will bend where pushed - by the UFT, the ed deformers and the charter lobby. She is extremely ambitious and wants to be Queen and has been lobbying for this job since she left the DOE. I believe it is her supporters who have tried to intervene to stop a Farina appointment. Farina is also not a perfect choice but to me she has a more humane view of education and that counts. Cashin was very heavy testing before she started to reverse herself to curry favor with the anti-deform community -- and it has worked to some extent. I don't trust her. Farina to me seems what you see is what you get -- while I don't like a bunch of what we may get I would choose someone more philosphically atuned to my ed views like she is.ed notes onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018047869059226777noreply@blogger.com
