You mean the Michelle Rhee who was disgraced by a cheating scandal for gaming the standardized tests?
Unions have a lot of problems but I wouldn't call them the only bad guy in that situation. DC public schools aren't going to be fixed by a single term from a young turk mayor and a chancellor encouraging everyone to juke the stats like it's the Wire.
- Nrsolis 14y agoLOL. I'll tell you what, go visit a DC public school and have a look around. If every single school in DC was razed to the ground and every teacher fired, you might get better test scores from the kids than what we have now.
- oinksoft 14y agoDoes that include charter schools? Because those are public as well. I think you are ill informed. I also think that "LOL." is an immature and inappropriate way to make any point.
- Nrsolis 14y agoAnyone that's informed on the state of the DC public school system sends their kids to Sidwell Friends or some other private school. That or they move to Fairfax County. And I really did laugh out loud when I read that comment. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/06/09/AR2005060901685.html http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/06...
