[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.  PP, it's not a right or left issue.  [/quote]I think you nailed it here, pp.  It should have been easier to fire bad teachers - no question - but the current process doesn't seem the best way to measure teacher quality.  Ultimately Rhee's problem was that she lacked experience and was learning on the job but anyone who points that out is labeled a "hater." She wanted to hold other people accountable using a questionable approach to measuring their accomplishments but [b]she would never allow herself to be held accountable by anyone else.[/b][/quote]

Seems to me she *was* held accountable by the voters.  That's something I think she understood.  [/quote]
