Jerry Brown, Arne Duncan had deep, long-standing disagreements
In 2013, after years of butting heads over policy differences, U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan praised Gov. Jerry Brown for showing “real vision, real courage” in leading the passage of a school funding formula that steers substantially more money to English learners and low-income students.
Jerry Brown, Arne Duncan had deep, long-standing disagreements
In 2013, after years of butting heads over policy differences, U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan praised Gov. Jerry Brown for showing “real vision, real courage” in leading the passage of a school funding formula that steers substantially more money to English learners and low-income students.
Duncan, who announced Friday he would resign as secretary in December, had a problematic relationship with Brown. In their shared focus on improving the education of low-income, minority children, and their support of charter schools and the Common Core State Standards, Duncan and Brown are simpatico. But for the seven years that Duncan has been education secretary, pointed and seemingly irreconcilable differences have defined their relationship. The governor of a solidly Democratic state and a Democratic president’s point man on education were like two ships colliding in a sea of policy disagreements.
The most visible was Brown’s opposition to using standardized test scores as a significant part of a teacher’s evaluation. Its refusal to use test scores disqualified California for extra points in its two failed applications for a share of $4.3 billion in the Race to the Top competition intended to promote school and district innovation.
The state was also disqualified for a state waiver from the penalties of the No Child Left Behind law.

1) He's the founder of a successful charter school chainJohn King, hand-picked by President Obama to lead out nation's schools, took the lead in designing Roxbury Prep's discipline policies. How has that played out? - See more at: http://jerseyjazzman.blogspot.com/2015/10/john-king-new-seced-is-king-of-student.html#sthash.lAwFI2az.dpuf
Unlike Duncan, King has been a classroom teacher: He taught for three years, two of them in a charter school, after getting his master's degree in teaching from Columbia University. In 1999, he became co-director of Roxbury Prep, a Boston charter school renowned for getting high test scores despite serving an exclusively low-income black and Latino student body. King, the New York Times wrote in 2011, was instrumental in designing the charter school's curriculum and disciplinary structure — including required school uniforms and rules against talking in the hallways.

Can Philly Super Do His Job?
Today the Daily News in Philly ran an editorial declaring, "Let Philly Schools Chief Hite Do His Job." The editorial writer is pretty much full of it; nevertheless, I agree that Hite should get to do his job. In fact, I wish somebody would make him do his job.
The issue at hand seems to be that Superintendent Hite is getting ready to privatize some more of the Philly school district. Some of the charter operators being brought in include Big Picture Foundation of Rhode Island and the ever-delightful Renaissance schools.
I could get into the issue of charters taking over public schools, or the track record of these particular operators, or the history of Hite and the Philly district. But I don't want to draw attention away from the most striking part of this story.

The union says that the schools are failing because they've been starved for resources. The Daily News, saying that these schools stunk even in flush times in Philly, calls out other factors--

Hundreds rally as national union president calls for respect, dignity for Scranton teachers
Hundreds of Scranton teachers, led by the national president of their union, demanded today that the school district treat them with respect and dignity.
On the sixth day of the strike, most of the union’s 940 teachers and paraprofessionals filled the sidewalk and closed a lane of traffic in front of the district’s Administration Building. American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten gave an impassioned plea for a fair contract.
“You are striking for what kids need. You are striking for their future and shame on this board of education and shame on this superintendent,” she said during her second visit to Scranton in the last month.
As Ms. Weingarten spoke, some district employees peered out the windows. Many of her comments were directed at the school board and to the new superintendent, Alexis Kirijan, Ed.D.
“If you, madam superintendent, really believe in kids the way you so profess, then you get to the bargaining table and negotiate 24-7,” Ms. Weingarten said. “How do you come in from Atlanta in July, and the first thing you do is create a strike in this great city of Scranton?”
Mary Delmar, a teacher at Kennedy Elementary School, said union members stand together, eliciting cheers from fellow employees.
“We have never been treated like this before,” she said. “We are being treated so disrespectfully.”
Teachers also carried boxes into the building’s lobby containing petitions with 11,000 signatures that called for a fair contract for Scranton teachers.
“What’s fair for one is fair for all, 2.5 percent for all,” teachers chanted, making reference to the superintendent’s contract, which calls for automatic 2.5 percent raises.
Teacher Dawn Hafner grabbed a megaphone to help lead the chants.
“The longer we’re out, the stronger we get,” she and the teachers said.
When reached after the rally, Dr. Kirijan said she does not understand where teachers get the idea that she does not respect them.
“I have visited their classes several times and showed them a great deal of respect. I respect anyone who chooses the hard profession of a teacher,” she said. “I don’t measure respect by money. Maybe they’re confusing that.”
Dr. Kirijan also said she did not create the strike. The teachers called the strike, and they have the right to do that, she said.
“Any decisions that are being made per the teachers contract, those decisions are not being made solely by me. I work for the board of education,” she said. “We are trying to do the right things for the right reasons. Our budget can only stretch so far. We stretched the budget beyond what we could possibly comfortably do, to get teachers a contract that could be satisfactory to them, but it’s not.”
Dr. Kirijan said she was brought to the district to improve achievement and resolve the district’s financial challenges.
“The school district is broke. You really can’t give what you don’t have,” she said. “I’m here to straighten out the financial
