When I think about individuals who would be willing to destabilize the nation’s middle class in favor of urban centric, market driven reforms, your name comes right to mind.

Then we are left with a well-qualified, respectable teacher who can concentrate more on her trade and less on financial instability—which is good thing unless you are somebody like Joe Williams.

Yesterday’s Washington Post explained the same dynamic in a slightly different way. She attempted a national search for principals who would be true-believers in a “data-driven culture.” Few took up her challenge. (Would you?) Now principals have less than two months to get ready and start to mobilize their buildings.

But hopefully there will never be enough young educators who will sacrifice to meet HER goals. Put out a calll for dedicated educators committed to building a learning culture, and we will respond.

Rhee’s approach can’t work for the same reason why we can’t improve schools without strong unions. Human nature is still back in the Aesop’s Fables days, where a dog can’t resist dropping his bone for an image of a bigger one.
