She of course wouldn't go on the program to respond to Merrow's report of the cheating memo.
How much longer can she get away with ignoring the allegations?
How much longer can she get away with stonewalling a full investigation of the charges of cheating in DCPS schools and her handling of those charges?
Can she continue to release "state education reform report cards" and the like through her PAC, Students First, and not have to respond to these charges?
I'm going to repeat what Jersey Jazzman first wrote when the Merrow report of the memo came out Thursday night:
We are at a crisis point. Either we are going to step up and demand the truth about Michelle Rhee and the Washington, D.C. cheating scandal, or we're going to sweep this entire thing under the rug and pretend that Rhee's vision of the world is valid: that our nation's massive inequity can be laid at the feet of a few "bad" teachers.
It is time - once and for all - to have an honest conversation about the legacy of Michelle Rhee.
How much longer will the media continue to let her run with her Students First jive like nothing happened?
How much longer can Rhee float above it all?
RBE you know very well that sh*t floats and since Ms, Rheefirst is so full of it, my answer would be until someone gives her the enema she so richly deserves. I am hoping some of the fired teachers will sue her b/c the honest ones lost their jobs and reputations over test results that were truthful. Her ed deform pals will kick her turd to the curb.
ReplyDeleteA great point, Harvey - some of the teachers who played the rules and didn't cheat were ultimately fired for low tests scores while ones who may have cheated in order to inflate scores were rewarded with both bonuses and continued employment by Ms. Rhee - even though it appears she was forewarned how some of those scores went up!
