"No one really had an answer" to dealing with the question of layoffs, and whether they should be dictated entirely by seniority. Reallly? Is the question THAT hard? Who thinks, in 2011, that longevity should be the SOLE criterion for deciding who stays and who goes, if we want to ...

The accountability horse is a powerful one: But not enough attention is paid to funding. Chris acknowledges that the legislature and several governors have punted on the question of funding. Do we think it's an accident that Washington ranks so poorly in the percentage of kids going on to college ...

Bad behavior: From my perspective, it isn't the views of Bass or Soriano that are the problem, it's their lack of responsibility as members of a governing board.
