[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe you and I know of many other examples of this kind of responsiveness.

[b]However she did nothing to make sure that the staff at your child's school had the ability or the means to get textbooks. [/b]Michelle Rhee ran a great help desk. She did nothing though, to put systems in place to address these sorts of issues. And then she quit.

But yes, she was really, really good at email.[/quote]

That is plain untrue. For anyone who's had children in the system since before Rhee, the difference in service - from getting textbooks, to ordering extra chairs from the warehouse for an event, to getting a building use permit, to getting a boiler fixed - couldn't be starker!! There was too long a period in which one had to email her directly to get things done. That's no longer the case. And she deserves credit for getting that accomplished.
That certainly doesn't make her perfect and I'm not sure I'd wish her back because that kind of cleanup came a a huge price. And it also doesn't mean that everything is running perfectly. But the distance she traveled is tremendous and not acknowledging that or denying it is absurd. There are more valid criticisms of her tenure than this one.[/quote]
