Article draws what seems on the surface to be a reasonable conclusion even if from just one incident....but it leaves me wondering whether the interrogator was bravely entering into a courageous conversation that few people are willing to have....or was just revealing a deep and blatant bias. A little more context would improve it...for instance, what has been the legal stance on such questioning...and when were such rulings compared to when the incident happened. Simple style...a quick read... I appreciate having the information...it does help understand who Sotomayor is as a person. It does not help me understand Martin Krall.

Lacks in-depth research or historical comparisons...The real story seems untold....Why can't the district get rid of such a pool of purportedly unqualified teachers....?

No....Tries to hook with negative hysteria on the Prius technology rather than the positive of newer technological innovation. Fails to elaborate on the new technologies or the timeline for their price competitive introduction. Seems obvious to me that technology will be evolving.....hey, people still buy conventional cars even though hybrids are on the market. Chances are they will be buying hybrids even if plug-ins are on the market. What's the authors point?

Although data is interesting and seemingly reliable, article lacks a clear thesis....I am left wondering why it was written.

Yes.....Folks need to hear how politicians are acting.... Not well written....but nonetheless a necessary look into politics.

At first, it sounds like an advertisement for charter schools....then slips into a limited critique....just the student special needs imbalance......Given the ten minutes, I would expect a broader critique....teacher credential requirements.....salaries....union issues...and student achievement results controlled for parent/household attention to education ......So although the piece is based on some facts.....I can't say that it is fair or in-depth....

As an editorial, it lacks a crisp perspective..... Leaves me wondering if the editor is a supporter or a critic of Obama's current actions. Does not offer an alternative course....and yet does not seem to support the current one.

Well researched and provides multiple perspectives. Gives a human face to the legal struggle.

I appreciate the inside look at political discussions..... Helps me understand the complexities....and the probable and necessary compromises.
