From The Los Angeles Times this past Sunday, October 24, 1999:

Supt. Zacarias

     Your Oct. 19 editorial, "Zacarias Should Leave Quickly," doesn't
really address the main problem. "He has not been able to change an
unresponsive bureaucracy." As a 36-year educator of LAUSD, now retired,
I say it can be changed. You must have someone in charge who doesn't
just say that there are 100 schools on probation because management
didn't do a good job. You can't fire teachers but you can fire
management at all levels. My rough estimate is that 25% of all
management should be replaced now. (I was an administrator for 10 years
in the LAUSD.)
     Your editorial states that two-thirds of students in LAUSD cannot
read, write or do math at grade level. We are an embarrassment to the
nation. Surely, 700,000 students need a leader with guts. Ruben
Zacarias doesn't fit the bill. Get him out of there now! Let's break up
the unresponsive bureaucracy once and for all.
