Re: Fw: report cards

Juanita,
It's interesting you should bring up consultants.  We use them less & less
in our district.  I was talking to a colleague in the Twin Cities.  He said
they were desparate for a consultant on diversity, how to teach urban kids
(as opposed to suburban or small town, I suppose).  Anyway, the consultant
got recommended by "a friend of a friend of a friend."  I guess the
consultant has been coming back for years.  Much of what she says sounds
either a bit bogus or else very obvious.  In any case, the district has a
"diversity consultant" that administration can point to when they need to
defend themselve.
