I don't know Ms. Flodeen or the circumstances of her promotion, but it occurs to me that its too bad that such a talented teacher feels the need to leave teaching and go into administration. Its time to start compensating great teachers as to their abilites, not their tenure, so the good ones have incentive to stay in a position where they can really make a difference in the lives of future generations.
