Where's the love in educational leadership?

By Dr. Andre M. Perry, Contributing Columnist March 12, 3007 talkback

Can a professor of education talk about love for a moment? Is it possible to talk about education reform and use the word love somewhat frequently? If the word love is too strong or too emotional, then we can use related terms like community, peace, respect, and unity? Funny how you're more likely to hear takeover paired with education than with peace. In an era of cold accountability and hostile state takeovers, educational leaders are in serious need of love talk.
