[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd spend my time watching Waiting for Superman instead. Not getting into a decent school, if you're poor, if much more heart-breaking to watch. [/quote] I didn't see that, but I heard it was rather laudatory of Michelle Rhee. Is that true? While I support school reform, I don't approve of how Rhee went about it here. The Lottery is about the students and the process, not about a personality-driven "leader."[/quote] I have no horse in the Rhee debate since I didn't live in DC during her time here. However, "Waiting for Superman" was not about her. She was simply one of many education professionals they interviewed. In my opinion, that part of the film was less about her and more about how insane the DCPS system was/is. People seem to hate her so much they discount what a mess the system was and focus solely on the steps or (misteps) she took to change things. [/quote]
