Re: another Chicago hero

[ABurke5054@aol.com]

So a principal is a hero because he refused  to admit students who had a 
legal right to go to school because letting them  in would increase class sizes?   
Only FairTest  would make such a ridiculous and outrageous claim.  As if the  
kids and their parents asked McGreal to keep the kids out and are now falling 
on  their knees to give thanks for being saved from overcrowding.   Remember 
other officials who refused to let kids into the schools --  were Lester 
Maddox and George Wallace heroes, too?   Pathetic.

It appears we have another Chicago hero. According to  the Sept 6 Ed Week 
(which arrived at my office today), Interim Principal  Martin McGreal of Gage 
Park HS refused to enroll at least 250 more students,  as CPS ordered,  because 
doing so would lead to classrooms of more  than 40  students. "At some point, 
you have to say no to what this system  is doing to kids," he said. The system 
also "does" to educators: it fired  McGreal from his job, which paid $113,820 
per year.
