New principal for Brown School

Amy Sullivan has been selected as the next principal of the George W. Brown Elementary School.

Sullivan has been a principal for the past nine years for the Peabody Public Schools and the Scituate Public Schools. She has taught grades 1-4 for the Cambridge Public School System and the St. John the Evangelist School. She received her Master of Education degree from Harvard University and her Bachelor of Arts degree from Curry College.

Sullivan recently moved to Newburyport and is now a resident of the city.

(That's all the press release says.)

two red flags: Cambridge and Harvard.

I know you might be joking but how does a Masters from Harvard and an association with Cambridge justify red flags? I would think that a smart person with credentials would be a better candidate than an insider "Porter".

i'd hire a local everyday of the week over someone with a harvard degree. if they were a former student of the brown school, even better...

I'm just curious, Anon, what is wrong with a degree from Harvard?

harvard exists outside the real world. what is right about a harvard degree?

Absolutely. Wouldn't want our educators to have a good education or any of that other elite stuff like successful careers.

As a person with a Harvard degree (tho' from the Extension School)-- one for which I worked like a dog both at Harvard to pay for it and, as a new parent, on each assignment, each class, to finally earn it, 3 slow credits at a time -- I would love to know from which school Anon got a degree, and whether mommy and daddy paid for it. There are all manner of biases out there, Anon.
