Sadly I guess that one states trash is another’s treasure and he is now Florida’s commissioner of education, an appointed not elected position here.
This however is what gets me about Gary Chartrand, first he doesn’t think teachers are professionals nor does their experience and education matter but then he has the nerve to say:
This is a fantastic result…our teachers should be celebrating,”
Um, no, we’re not celebrating. Like you Mr.Chartrand, Bennett is no friend of teachers. We are cringing and we are sighing and we are not optimistic in the least.
Mr. Chartand, do us a favor before you do even more damage, please get a clue. Also just a heads up, every time you speak you confirm what most of us already know.

Long time reader, first time commentor….I have not read in the past few weeks so ive been catching up and this guy isnt right for the job. He doesnt believe that teachers are professionals? I'm sure his former teachers would think twice about the gift of knowledge that they gave him. For some reason this guys name is so familiar and i live in the PV area. what does this guy look like? I think ive been to one of his fundraisers.
