The second in our year-long series following D.C. Schools Chancellor Michelle Rhee as she confronts "a bloated and unresponsive" education bureaucracy.
Compassion???? I don't get this argument. So to some people it's more compassionate to leave ineffectinve people in place and continue to ruin another generation of kids. F That!!! Fire their asses. There's plenty of good people that would be willing to do the job, and do it right. I'm sick of coddling people, ESPECIALLY adults!!!
@ghomsid Yep, Rhee and her cohorts push a simplistic solution. They foolishly think 'progress' can be achieved through sheer will -- and all progress is measureable through test scores. Having taught in the inner-city, I know of the problems and how teachers lack support. Being realistic is the KEY!
@retsep81 But how come I haven't heard these teachers that have made 140 grand talking about how great it is? I haven't heard of teachers making 140 grand.

@retsep81 they make promises but where does the money come from? school districts are strained with teachers making 50k a year.
