[RP TownTalk] Prince George’s county executive moves to take over struggling school system

[Lou King]

And here in lies part of the problem.
Nation wide view of "elected officials" is low, except each of us feel 
differently about our own official.

Dwight your remarks reminded me of a Marine Captain in a inter-service 
communication class. His answer to Identification of aircraft as friend 
or foe (IFF) was "shoot them all down and sort it out on the ground" 
 From his point of view as a ground pounder, I can see the 
simplicity/effectiveness of his solution.  The flyers in the class took 
exception.

I have no clue about the County Executive's qualifications as an 
educator. Hopefully he has the executive skills to hire the correct 
School Superintendent, one most of us can support. Something has to 
break the logjam, create the inertia, to change things for the better. 
The current structure hasn't produce an answer.
