Didn’t EAI run some schools in Hartford 15 or so years ago?
Was there ever a “Hartford Miracle” akin to the “Baltimore Miracle?”

Whenever this is in place, and if Dr. Hite is still around after the current budget crisis, PGCPS will finally surpass nearby Fairfax County and Montgomery County public schools to become one of the top systems in the country.

I asked Michelle Rhee, back when she ran DCOPS, if she planned to move her Highly Effective teachers to low performing schools and classes.
She wrote back, No.
Edharris: Thanks for clarifying. I THOUGHT you were being sarcastic, but with so many people who buy into the whole “fire teachers and you’d get great students” mindset, I just wanted to be sure…
