Good on her.

There really is a god looking after us.

Black eye for the unions, putting their members before education. Shame
on them.

Amen, brother! Fire the rest of those teachers, free up the budget,
and let the little *******s teach themselves. Clearly the only way for
one interested in "actually trying to improve the education process in
Washington DC."

???

What ??? You said "it looks as though Ms Rhee is actually trying to
improve the education in Washington DC." Since this is accomplished
by firing teachers to balance the budget.... obviously.....

the way to improve education is to fire teachers, save money, and make
students responsible for teaching themselves! Apparently, there is no
alternative.... or that was the best approach... that IS the way "to
improve the education in Washington DC," isn't it?

Getting rid of dead weight is Ms. Rhee's objective.

In fact she has told the DC board of education to fire her if they don't
like what she is doing. The school system, any school system, should
does not exist to keep the NEA happy.
