[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bottom line is that Rhee did more harm than good.

And the good she did wasn't worth the harm. Worse, the good could've been achieved without the turmoil.

Rhee had unprecedented freedom to do what she wanted with DCPS. I agree with the poster who said it was an opportunity missed. Only, if only, the person Mayor Fenty appointed had [b]experience, wisdom, and character.[/b] Much, much more could've been accomplished in DC because you really do get more bees with honey. The students would be much better off today if only a better, wiser person had been given the job.

Let's not overlook that fact that students were actually progressing four years before Rhee arrived and immediately regressed afterwards. That says A LOT. In fact, it says EVERYTHING. Because student achievement--not a smaller central office or timely book deliveries--is the ultimate goal of school reform. If you don't accomplish that one thing, you've FAILED.[/quote]Nailed it, pp.  It wasn't that her motivation to reform was wrong, it's that she didn't have the experience and skills to pull it off successfully.[/quote]
