Wrong move at UC High

Posted: November 28, 2006

TO SCHOOLS chief Paul Vallas:

Your statement/reason/excuse for getting rid of the mentor program at University City High is an exercise in the same thing you say you don't want to do - micromanagement.

In ancient Rome, it was thought that bloodletting was a way to rid the body of the ills that caused it to deteriorate.

Today, a physician could be disciplined for such an act. What you are allowing to happen at UC, my alma mater, is the micromanaging of a bloodletting. And the only place the blood can flow is in the streets.
