It's good entertainment, the way gossip or a car crash is entertaining, and you should take pride of creating that entertainment. <br /><br />But this blog is definitely not journalism, and your insistence on calling yourself a journalist makes me wonder if you even understand what journalism is, which in turn casts doubt on all of your reporting. Why don't you just call yourself a columnist? There's no shame in embracing your opinions and advocacy, rather than pretending your blog is unopinionated and hoping no one will notice, which is frankly impossible.

Ms,kent just finished her training on SC. Maybe she learned something that made her uncomfortable. Ms Dolven is a lawyer. She may also have felt uncomfortable but she was clear about not having the time to commit<br /> with it being dysfunctional or whatever she said. Modestow is a principal he probably saw this situation as too time consuming or controversial for him right now. Remember he was acting chair In Pelham due to Tara Luce not being able to be involved in the Pelham situation and possibly the evals but she filled one out anyway since the Super was her boss she was advised to recuse by Dese or some governing body. Also the lawauit is coming I don't know, how that effects the SC but it could be a long year of long hours between that and the super search.
