Her backwards ideas and tough guy tactics are despicable!

She rewarded teachers who cheated (read today's news if you didn't already know) and fired those who didn't - or did cheat well enough. She got rid of some amazing teachers based in math and reading scores. Ignorant and shallow.

Michelle Rhee is my hero! Her fearless devotion to the reform of education is honorable! This book has opened my eyes to the constant struggle we face as a country to make gains in education! Our students need us...Our county needs us! It's time we put students first! If you have any desire to make a difference in the lives students, this book is a must read!

.....you should read this book. You may be vehemently opposed to to what you think you know about Michelle Ree, but you owe it to your current opinion, if nothing else, to ensure your opinion is grounded in truth - not interpretation or here say. Perspective is enlightening. I had an idea about her going in, but that idea was clarified till I found myself discovering a voice I completely understood. If we could implement this shift in educational mentality across our nation, we would all benefit for generations to come!! Thanks Michelle.
