I used "grow up in this world" but any few words from the quote will work. Bingo! <br /><br />NY officials did opt to change "shit" to "sheet"--you can find it on page 10, p3, l5. He has a point, too--as do many folks with his worldview. I obviously disagree with his view, for good reasons.<br /><br />As far as the salary goes, I was referring to the current College Board CEO salary, which is indeed over a million dollars per year. <br /><br />Coleman will earn a base of over half million per year--not bad for a non-profit.doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12901661320505882735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4956989639073843954.post-58728562888384761132012-05-31T16:44:04.520-04:002012-05-31T16:44:04.520-04:00First let me say that I've been enjoying your ...First let me say that I've been enjoying your blog today.<br /><br />Personally I am of the opinion that it is reasonable to be skeptical regarding Coleman and the College Board. Actually I'm just generally skeptical (could probably due with being more skeptical regarding my own ideas).<br /><br />On that note, the NY Times doesn't agree with you on what he's getting paid by the College board<br /><br />"Mr. Caperton came under some criticism for his salary of $1.3 million; Mr. Coleman will earn a base of $550,000, with total compensation of nearly $750,000."<br /><br />http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/16/education/david-coleman-to-lead-college-board.htmlamoorenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4956989639073843954.post-17810095790382411192012-05-31T14:53:01.081-04:002012-05-31T14:53:01.081-04:00Please state precisesly where you found the quote ...Please state precisesly where you found the quote you listed indicating that Coleman said no one gives a shit about what you think and feel.<br /><br />So far I found the following at roughly the 23 minute of part 6 of the link you provided:<br /><br />"..critical thinking is not just what you feel or think about something..."<br /><br />Clearly this statement is not the same as what you quote him as saying; neither in part or in the whole. As their is so much video to watch and listen to, I would appreciate your directing us to the specific point supporting your claim.amoorenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4956989639073843954.post-73017426727156733752012-05-20T10:58:22.788-04:002012-05-20T10:58:22.788-04:00Dear David,

There was a nice give and take on Diana Ravitch's blog recently.<br /><br />I suspect the man is seriously confused, a sociopath, or has drunk too much of his own juice.<br /><br />He is <i>still</i> on the board, until June at the earliest. Sad, just sad.doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12901661320505882735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4956989639073843954.post-51890242817823521232012-05-20T02:11:39.985-04:002012-05-20T02:11:39.985-04:00Yeah, I read this, and was horrified!
David Colem...Yeah, I read this, and was horrified!<br /><br />David Coleman is also on the board (or was until very recently) of Students First, Michelle Rhee's project (intended to privatize education).Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08098221991466148258noreply@blogger.com
