BEYOND THE RHETORIC

Michelle Rhee refuses to debate Diane Ravitch (probably the smartest thing she has ever done)...

...but here is a blog where she debates the issues of the day with Jack Schneider.


The opening remarks by Rhee scared me, as I thought: "Damn, that made sense!"

Had to smile when Jack came back with the same sentiment, albeit, with a more professional response.

Anyway, I found the back and forth interesting...

CAT Tracks Editor's Footnote:

As for whether student test scores should count 50% or 35% of a teacher's evaluation, or Rhee's cheeky 42.5%...

...bad science (no science?) is still bad science.

I remain firmly at 0%...
