Education, Union Officials Take Standoff to Blogosphere

A NY Sun article about Chris Cerf's and Randi Weingarten's blog postings on Eduwonk.  I'm not sure I'd call it a "confrontation".  It wasn't structured as a debate, though they did cover some of the same topics and -- surprise! -- had different views.  Kudos to Andy Rotherham, Chris and Randi for doing this.

The city government and the teachers union are officially in a  truce, but that has not stopped a confrontation on the Internet, where the  union president and the Department of Education's no. 2 adviser are meeting  this week on a national education Web log.
 

Christopher Cerf , a top deputy to Chancellor  Joel Klein, was a "guestblogger" last week and the United Federation of Teachers president,  Randi Weingarten is posting this week at  Eduwonk.com, the Web site of the co-director of a Washington, D.C., think tank, Andrew Rotherham.
