It is not--repeat NOT--a "family business." This article, while well-intentioned, really pisses me off because the writer has this attitude she and her family are entitled to public employment jobs such as teaching, not realizing nepotism is a corrupting influence on any institution.
Public education is based on the civil service system although it is frequently violated with rampant nepotism. I think of all of the highly qualified teachers who cannot get jobs, even when times are good, because districts hire some teacher's kid for a job. It isn't fair, and these jobs are not hereditary titles to be passed on from generation to generation.
The writer of the piece misses the entire point. She is NOT a good example of what we want in education. I don't want public schools turned into or remain family businesses like the mob. We already have too much of this now.
