Wow! (What's the NYCBE?)

NYC Board of Education, which was taken over and re-named as The NYC Department of Education (suddenly under complete mayoral control) by Bloomberg who, whatever one might otherwise think about him, was a chaotic force in NYC public education (as well as being in the oversized pockets of the very wealthy Charter School people).

that this chaos was real (and this is literally true) became obvious within about a week of Bloomberg taking his oath.

I'll grant that in a few other ways, Bloomberg might have been a more or less decent mayor; god knows, he was a mountain of likeability and decency compared with the scumbag he replaced. and Bloomberg wasn't especially likable or decent. sort of like Al Franken on Ted Cruz ("I like Ted Cruz more than anyone else in the Senate does, and I HATE Ted Cruz")
