Last week I had the chance to hear from the new Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan, who was formerly a basketball buddy of the President and also the Chicago Superintendent of Schools. I should state that I have never been much of a fan of secretaries of education. The last one talked a lot without much knowledge. She was a disruptive force.
But I liked the new guy. He seems intelligent. He seems ready to listen to alternative points of view and to learn about the nuances of areas where he may not be knowledgeable. In short, what a good public official should be. It was a welcome change.
