A lady writes in here that her daughter is suicidal and a FairTest 
activist tells her to get active in anti-testing groups, another 
Fairtest activist threatens mob violence against someone whose opinions 
he doesn't like and you call this a "wise community?  Can't wait to see 
your essays.

I would expect that George Schmidt would, since they are active in 
Chicago.

I am talking about New Leaders for New Schools, which will take 
selected people
in turn them in to certified principal within a bit more than a year.   
I have
been heavily recruited to apply:  they operate in Baltimore, DC, and in 
my own
district of Prince George's County.

I am aware of their focus on data and on test scores, so that I already 
know.  I
am interested in any direct experience people here may have had, or 
observations
of what you have seen.  The early filing deadline is October 25.   I am
seriously considering applying, although I would suspect I would not be 
a good
fit for them.  For one thing, I am already 61, and they so far have 
only taken
people through their mid-50s/   I have been to an information session 
and was
still encouraged to apply even after they met me!!!  And the principal 
recruiter
in Washington has seen my resume, and knows about my blogging, and is 
still
encouraging me to apply.

So before I kill myself writing a series of essays (There are three I 
would
still have to do) and polishing my shor answers, I thought I would 
reach out to
this wise community and see what anyone has to say about the 
organization.

If you are curious, their website is http://www.nlsn.org
