Wayne KurtzPlease read this article about President Obama's "dream school superintendent" from Washington, D. C. as she IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED: she and Chicago's (the newly-appointed U S Secretary of Education) Arnie Duncan, espouse strict standardized testing, merit pay and dissolving teachers' tenure. HEADS UP! Wayne Kurtz.
Michelle Rhee is not Obama's dream superintendent - he hasn't mentioned her name once since the debates before the election.
The Article you cite does not mention his support for her and does not paint her as any kind of dream. If you want to see what people think of her, read the comments section of that article: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/06/13/AR2009061302073_Comments.html
I was trying to ferret you out, Anonymous, as you are 100% MYOPIC: #1 Obama is a fantastic President wih a Capital "P"; #2 He is not perfect: #3 I think his choice of Sonya Sotomayor is extremely poor, considering her judicial record is very weak on a woman's right to abortion and strong for large corporate business; #3 U S Senator Edward Kennedy, a so-called Progressive Democrat,was a co-author of the NCLB fiasco, so politics has strange bedfellows, doesn't it? Rhee and Duncan are anathema for teachers and students alike: THEY ARE "COMPANY MEN." I do appreciate your astute comments but I categorically disagree with you. Wayne.
Why do you say that Michelle Rhee is Obama's dream superintendent? He's been very careful to avoid the mere mention of her name since November. And for good reason.
