Shared responsibility and group input results in a quality product. I believe Leishawn's position is in line with the name of his school, Democracy Prep. Perhaps Bloomberg could open a new charter school named Authoritarian Prep, Monarchy Prep or Empire Prep. Sylvia,

The Dept. of Education does not; and is essentially unaccountable and its policies are imposed at the whim of the Mayor and the Chancellor.

Simply Fantastic. I think Daniel wins the debate. Though Leishawn is right to be nervous, we don't have a committee run the fire department or the police department, even the sanitation department. I have to agree with Daniel, that if we did, the dishes would never get done. I'd rather be nervous than have a big pile of educational dishes to wash for years and years and years. Fantastic.
