My Take
Paul Vallas strikes me as a man who deliberately ran toward broken systems. Leading the Chicago and Philadelphia school districts, then the storm-battered Recovery School District in Louisiana, he built a career out of taking over the hardest jobs in American public education. That kind of work guarantees critics, and reform-minded administrators rarely leave office beloved. But I respect the willingness to shoulder responsibility for something as consequential as how children learn. His later run for Chicago mayor only underscores a long, combative commitment to the city that raised him. Whatever one makes of his methods, the conviction is hard to dismiss.
