Kudos for Michelle Rhee--the more I learn about this maverick, the more I like her...  She is making bold moves in Washington D.C.--moves whose ripples may potentially change public education across the country.  I hope she succeeds...  Read about her in "Fixing Washington D.C.'s School System" by Jeff Chu posted on fastcompany.com  and to learn a bit more about the way she's approaching Washington's broken education system--with a wing and a prayer, she may create the kind of reform that the education system desperately needs...  Rhee's priority number one?  Kids... She's closing schools, firing employees, creating big waves--but from an outsider's perspective, it makes sense!  She is one courageous player, and though she is a staunch supporter of No Child Left Behind (can't agree completely with her on this one--saving that blog entry for later), IMHO she is doing right by D.C.'s kids...  Keepin' an eye on what happens over the next few weeks...
