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



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

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