If Ms. Rhee were running for some sort of office I’d vote for her in a heartbeat, even though she’s a Democrat. My mother was a public school teacher for many years, and I can’t wait to share this article with her. The best part of Ms. Rhee’s plan is that it gives teachers what they want (higher pay), and gives students what they need (qualified and motivated teachers). I mean, if you’re a teacher and you hear that you can make $130K as a public school teacher in Washinton D.C., wouldn’t that be enough to catch your attention? Ms. Rhee is going to have her door beaten down by the best teachers in the country who are tired of being passed over because some other teacher has seniority, even though they may be a lousy teacher.
Just brilliant. Of course it remains to be seen whether it will work. In principle it should, assuming the unions don’t succeed in killing it.
