But will he upstage The Chalkboard?

Had a conversation with Guilford schools Superintendent Terry Grier today about becoming a blogger. He's unsure about the time commitment to post -- who isn't -- and his ability to interact with commenters in a timely way. Can't blame him. We offered to host it for him, too.

Our conversation showed that he'd be a good one: he's articulate, knowledgeable and passionate. I suggested the Sandy Carmany model of blogging as public service. I am encouraged with the seriousness of thought he's putting into it.

I hope you're not holding your breath.

But will he be willing to answer questions? Like, Dr. Grier, what were you thinking when you passed that stopped school bus? Or, Dr. Grier, only 4% of Americans have ever been involved in a fire. You have been closely connected to 4 fires, three involving school buildings where you were employed. How do you explain this?

No, I don't think he wants to blog. He better just stick to his Friday Notes.
