Re: Michelle Rhee IS THE DEVIL GOING TO FLORIDA

More | Report Post

Apparently the new Republican FL governor may ask RHEE to help
him in Florida, but I am glad she got other plans in her mind,
that witch!

It appears that Michelle Rhee, the bomb-throwing school reformer
and favorite of Gov.-elect Rick Scott, will not be Florida's new
education commissioner.

And that's a good thing.

Michelle Rhee was chancellor of schools in Washington, D.C., for
three years. In that short time she closed failing schools,
fired staff, battled the teachers union and became a national
symbol for reform. She was blunt, ruthless and a major issue in
the defeat last month of her boss, Mayor Adrian Fenty.

She resigned shortly thereafter and was quickly recruited by
Scott to headline his education transition team. From there, it
was a quick rumor to the education-commissioner job, speculation
that Scott's office didn't tamp down.

But Monday, Rhee announced on Oprah's show that she is starting
a national reform organization called Students First. That
hardly leaves her time to work 60 hours a week in Tallahassee.

It is a perfect gig for her.

Florida is not.

Rhee was the right person in the right place at the right time
in Washington. Never has a school district spent so much money
to educate so few kids. It was a bloated, unaccountable morass
from which kids either fled or failed.

It required dynamite.
