Count on G.F. Brandenburg to read the fine print, have a long memory, and share what he has learned with his readers.
The excerpts from the Atlanta indictments may remind you of the PBS Frontline special about Michelle Rhee. Remember how she interviewed each principal and asked, “How many points will your scores go up?” “What can you promise?”
Maybe it is time to look at that episode again.
Here is a link to the episode, the PBS ombudsman comments, and the controversy that followed.

Don’t forget these two VERY interesting blog posts by John Merrow, the PBS Frontline correspondent, that goes into a lot more detail about his investigation of D.C.

The Missing Memo

Rhee and friends should be indicted too. She should go to prison for fraud.
If the same were done to Rhee what would happen? Why, she would be thrown out for lack of performance. Fair for one, fair for all, isn’t it? Administrators need to be held accountable. Then watch things change, especially if a few get some prison time and lost their jobs permanently as they illegally do to teachers. Let us see how you “Like it on the other foot.”
Typical Rhee, hold everyone accountable on a fantasy basis and when you have me in a real basis, I am above that, leave me alone and I will answer nothing. In fact, she is quoted on this subject that she no longer works there. Oh really, you sure did when this happened. Now for a grand jury and indictment. Only all of congress is complicit in this whole action. Take a look at their funding and where it comes from and the amount/student.
Once again, John Merrow emerges as a tough, thoughtful journalist interested in finding out what’s really happening.
