Mr. Teachbad evaluates Michelle Rhee's reform efforts in DC

[Reader Rabbit]

After five years, how is DCPS doing? A DC Fis­cal Pol­icy Insti­tute study released ear­lier this week has eval­u­ated the work of Rhee and her suc­ces­sor, Kaya “sucks-to-be-me” Hen­der­son. A write up of the study by Emma Brown can also be found at the Wash­ing­ton Post.

The prin­ci­pal find­ing of the study was that the “share of stu­dents scor­ing at a pro­fi­cient level at the typ­i­cal school fell slightly between 2008 and 2012.”

Well, shit...THAT didn't work

1. Gotta love achievement gaps INCREASING.

Heckuvajob, Rhee-ie. Thy name is fail, unless you're talking about your bank account. That's probably stuffed to the gills.

2. This should be splashed all over the front pages of Time and Newsweek like she was.

I will never forget this shit. Ever.

3. It really is crazy that all of these gimmicks fail and fail and fail

and yet are demanded by the PTB ever more loudly.

It's $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ in the RIGHT pockets!
