Q & A with Chris Casal

If you weren't in education, what do you think you'd be doing and why?

I honestly can’t see myself doing anything else.

When you were a kid, you wanted to be a ______? Why?

Disc Jockey. Why? WKRP & Dr. Johnny Fever.

What's your idea of happiness?

Day of skiing/snowboarding then hanging with my wife & daughter. Single malt scotch. Cigar.

Twitter changed my life because:

Wouldn’t say it’s "changed my life" but it's certainly been extremely helpful in learning and networking.

The teacher who had the biggest impact on me and why:

Father Burshek, senior year Theology (I went to a Jesuit high school). He challenged me to question and think like no other.

If you were dictator and had total control, tomorrow education would:

Have no place in politics and politics have no place in it.

If you could live anywhere other than where you are, it would be:

I live in the greatest place on Earth. But if I had to choose, Maine, Ireland or Scotland I suppose.

The biggest problem with K-12 education is:

Politicians

Do you have a motto you live by?

Entitlement is vulgar. Work. Earn. Compete for pride. Compare to no one.

I've always wanted to visit:

Banff. Heli-ski a perfect powder day.

What are your most treasured possessions?

My passwords.

If you never had to worry about making money, what would you do?

Scotch & golf tour of Scotland. By Vespa.

What kind of kid were you in high school?

Rough around the edges struggling to fall short of my potential.
