No Supervisory Exams

Teachers are required to be duly licensed. This is correct.
Why not the same for assistant and principals? Why should they get these cushy jobs and enjoy a lifetime out of the classroom without taking an examination for it? Isn't that unfair?
When was the last time that the UFT and CSA hierarchies were actually in the classroom teaching?
All supervisory personnel should be required to teach. This means not taking the best classes and leaving regular teachers all the leftovers. This applies to Chancellor Klein, Kathleen Grimm and others at the board. I would love to see their classroom skills, or lack of them. When they leave their current cushy jobs, let them start teaching in one of our many SURR schools under the current unbearable conditions that they have helped to create.
