Congratulations on Joel Klein retiring. I hope the next person is not so destructive to the school system.

We couldn't be happier, although we are nervous about who will be filling the position. The last 4 people had absolutely NO educational background. It'll be interesting.

When our mayor announced he'd be retiring at the end of his term, Huberman said then that he wouldn't work for any other mayor, but that he wasn't going anywhere until Daley left. Then, last week, in a surprise announcement, he said he was leaving at the end of the month. I'm surprised you didn't hear our screams of joy all the way over there!!!; November 9, 2010 at 4:58 PM
