Bloomberg's legacy in education: total failure

3. Bloomberg & Rhee's Education Report Card: F

K&R

... Thanks, HPD. This is what I say to Bloomberg: "It's the society, stupid!" And it's not the teachers! That is a damn shame to only have 25% of their seniors college ready. How can Michelle Rhee call that success? I say that the failure of our education system in NY and all over the country, can be laid at the feet of William Bennet, GWB, and Rhee's feet. I remember back when Bill Bennet was the head of Education Dept, he insinuated he wanted to abolish the education system. I was abhorred by that man. Then comes GW with his NCLB. And then Rhee on GW's coattails. And here we are. Charter schools are going down the drain too, as they have no oversight, even though they get tax dollars. Have you read madfloridian's posts on all those tragic charter schools in Florida? And now we have Arne Duncan. Can anyone tell me what that man has done for our education system since he came in, beside photo-ops with PO?

Oh, Piers Morgan had Rhee on for his last 10 minutes last night, praising her new book. I think his research team is failing, as a matter of fact. Do you think he would have had Rhee on had he read this damning article that was published back on Sunday, January 6, 2013? I can't understand Piers coming out for Rhee, as he seems to have gotten the gun issue right.
