I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Drexel University School of Education, and was honored and humbled to be selected for the transition advisory committee. I would like to address your comment that I "don't appear to have ever used my degree[s] in education." I assume you based that assumption on the clearly cursory skim you did of my LinkedIn page, which only alludes to the classroom experience I had early in my career. Your blog post clearly does not take into account that I am using my degrees in education in my current program, where my focus is Education Leadership and Policy. Your post does not mention the fact that I have published on the intersection of race and disability in an international journal, I served as the president--not just a member--of a school board, I actively research bias in assessment, have been an invited speaker to regional education conferences, and have experience with navigating the school and social service system as a caregiver of both a child and adult with special needs--all before the age of 40. It is both disappointing and disheartening to read that you choose to use your platform to minimize the skills and accomplishments of someone who decided to put their money where their mouth was and attempt to impact educational change instead of sitting on their laurels and criticizing others. If you have questions about my skills and experience, please do not hastily publish your assumptions--I encourage you to take the time to do the research and ensure what you say is accurate. If you would like me to send you my curriculum vitae so that you can get a clearer picture of what I have done in my career that makes me an asset to this position, please do not hesitate to send me a message on LinkedIn. It is clear you know how to find my page. Have a nice day and be well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534665086749553287.post-52848338674306400562022-12-06T00:39:18.500-05:002022-12-06T00:39:18.500-05:00Interesting that Shapiro sent his kids to a public...Interesting that Shapiro sent his kids to a public school--right: Lower Merion? So now all of a sudden public schools aren't good enough for everyone else's kids? Please, Josh: with 90% of PA's students attending public schools, choose a public school teacher or administrator to be your secretary of education--be bold and honest--public schools work and are closer to equity than charters ever will be! No Vouchers with my public dollars!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534665086749553287.post-44133379714402607412022-12-04T08:03:44.632-05:002022-12-04T08:03:44.632-05:00Well done.
