Michelle Rhee Wants to Fix our School System

America's schools
are failing our kids.

On this point, the data is clear. While some people blame the kids, or simply want to throw more money at the problem, we know that real change requires a better system — one that puts students' needs before those of special interests or wasteful bureaucracies.

Michelle Rhee  wants to fix our broken system.

DID YOU  KNOW? Students in the United States rank in the BOTTOM of math, science and reading levels, worldwide.

In the growing global marketplace, students will need to excel in both math and science to compete internationally as engineers, scientists, physicians, and creative entrepreneurs. Yet, in an assessment by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, 15-year-olds in the U.S. placed 25th out of 30 countries in math performance and 21st in science performance.

Rhee says,"To succeed in our mission, we're working with parents, teachers, administrators, and citizens across the country to ensure great teachers, access to great schools, and effective use of public dollars. Together, we'll demand that legislators, courts, district administrators, and school boards create and enforce policies that put students first. We'll make sure politicians and administrators recognize and reward excellent teachers, give novice teachers the training they need, and quickly improve or remove ineffective educators. We'll work to ensure that every family has a number of options for excellent schools to attend, so that getting into a great school becomes a matter of fact, not luck.  And we'll make sure all Americans understand that our schools are not only an anchor for our communities, but an absolute gateway to our national prosperity and competitive standing in the world economy."

    I applaud this person... but see her as a Don Quixote. I just dont know how easily she will be able
    to fix the system that had enabled those who need a strong education the most. I agree with her opinions can only pray that the strong teachers unions will wake up and see how they are contributing to the decay of our educational system
