  1. Well , Colorado can have him. If he is so in it for the kids and not the job then someone explain why he would talk about this area in the negative instead of accentuating the positives. Does he belive there are no fostered children in Colorado? Does he believe that every parent will meet their children at the bus there?Can he possibly be that naive? Instead of talking about our low socioeconomic area he could have talked about the rich history of the area and how in the face of adversity these children and there parents work for a better tomorrow, and is it his money paying for the children to have lunch, someone explain what bearing that would have on a job interview, One more point: it is not Dr. Williams in the class room bringing up the test scores it is the dedicated teachers and hard working students. There is so much to be said on this subject but the cold hard truth is most of you who will read this already know where Dr. Williams stands in our society -at the bottom of our low socioeconomic ladder.
