Who can fix the schools?

Article Abstract:

Educationists are not happy with the administrationEs decision to hire another bureaucrat to the position of the schools chief as they feel that schools need someone with a vision and someone committed enough to deliver. It is an acknowledged fact that schools in Washington DC are in a mess and they need people who can change the system inside out like in New York. A list of seven candidates who may fit the job is presented.
