[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]10:18, Rhee shook things up. And she made things worse.

That's the issue. Despite virtually unlimited money, unchecked power and rampant cheating, [b]NOTHING has changed in DCPS[/b].

Read the report. It's sobering.[/quote]

I'm no Rhee apologist, but that is not strictly true.  There are procedural administrative changes that have definitely improved.  Students do get their books on time, facilities are better maintained, there is PS/PK availability (which is not solely the result of the Mayor).  [b]When you say nothing has changed, completely ignoring some objectively positive changes, it damages your credibility.[/b][/quote]

PS/PK predated Michelle Rhee, though she supported and expanded it.  You can talk all you want about cleaning house, but DCPS remains as administratively bloated as ever.  The biggest difference is the rise in 6 figure salaried staff

I agree with this poster that change for change sake is generally a bad idea.  My biggest gripe is the excessive focus on standardized testing which has a pernicious effect on both teaching and learning.[/quote]

I'm not talking about cleaning house.  I'm talking about objective criticism and personal credibility.[/quote]
