[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]...uhh...my kids were in DCPS pre-and post-Rhee.  Our principal managed to fire a couple of bad teachers pre-Rhee.  Why is soul-searching necessary, we're just talking about some facts here.  It was a terrible burdensome process to fire teachers before, and now it is an easier but stupid process that cans teachers now.  Somewhere in the middle --fair and easier --should have been the results but Rhee was not the person to broker these changes.  [b]PP, it's not a right or left issue. [/b] [/quote]

Well, it [i]shouldn't[/i] be.  In reality however, it is highly politicized, and the right and the left have established very firm camps.  Of course, most of those who are ideologically pure, don't actually have any "skin in the game" (by which I mean, children who are directly affected by policy shifts).  The issue is more complicated and nuanced to those of us who live it.[/quote]

Yup.  Frankly, it's ideological anti-union jerks on the right, and ideological folks who think the overriding purpose of public sector is to provide guaranteed employment to people on the other.  And the kids get caught in the middle.[/quote]
