>>BTW, the assistant superintendent of schools used to be a math teacher, only understands numbers, not people.>>>

It is said that he would ask first dates at Harvard what THEIR sat scores were.

That was his "ice breaker".

It's not clear if he ever had a second date.

Holy mother of jesus. People like this are now in charge of education in America.
