Dear Charlie Rose:

I rarely comment on shows; however, I am at a lost for words. Michelle Rhee is a complete and total fraud! I have read several articles about her school reform strategy. I have also seen the wonderful Frontline documentary, “The Education of Michelle Rhee”. She wrongly received praise for so called “academic achievement”. This achievement was accomplished through: greed, fear of being fired and intimidation. The rate of test answer changes from wrong to right were so unbelievable, that a Statistician stated, "The odds are better for winning the Powerball grand prize than having that many erasures by chance." Once more, the woman is a fraud. The average first grader could figure this out!

Prometheus, there is a survived book 'Feng Shen Bang' or 'soul hunt' from the beginning of Ming dynasty. The stories in this book which were imagined or remembered or recreated about what happened at the end of Shang dynasty, entangled the original ones. I call that eastern fairy tale. I am very interested in one story that the Prime Minister Bi Gan under the rule of King Zhou was alive after being taken out his heart. That is genius innovation because it will give human eternal life, conquering the death! Maybe Qin Shihung in future will realize it.

I understand your liver and the definition of night.

But the question is who/which genius made this story and why?

Ms Rhee couldn't think her way out of a wet paper bag as she can not think beyond the parochial box of conformity. In other words she is bureaucracy bound in her establishment thinking. It was all one could do not to turn the channel to watch reruns of Gilligans Island instead, as those shows had more gravitas than Ms Rhee has on her best day.

If American children were only like Fords, Chevys or Dodges we could turn out a good product. But alas children are small human beings and as such each of their potentials are different and bloom on different schedules.

Just returned home from yet another visit to the US. I went to see my son who is a frosh at College - he is doing very well and he is loving it! I went on business too.

The business was good and the people were awesome. As always the individuals I met were outstanding with very few exceptions.

I spent some blissful winter's days at Stanford - got to love that and I recommend it to everyone. I spent some interesting days in talks with people who run small companies in the Valley and out of San Francisco.

My professional interest on this trip was the future of online education/learning and how best to move a successful brick and mortar business to a sustainable digital revenue model. I had some very interesting discussions but came away with less than I had hoped for in terms of RADICAL ideas.

It seems to me that CA is caught in a malaise. It is a malaise of the population's own making. It is a malaise that results from sub-standard 7 to 18 year old education.

The obvious impact of this malaise hit me hard I came home no longer so worried about the fiscal state of America but more concerned about the education of its population.

To me the #1 issue for America today is to fix its education system. I would say the emphasis has to go onto Year 4 to Year 12 kids. Don't waste money and effort on pre-K. Spend more on Head Start if you like even though it is unpopular. But fix the school system. Teach kids to think for themselves and to value knowledge.

The results of poor educational outcomes in CA at present is a CULTURE of POVERTY. It is dangerous!!!

Be RADICAL... fix kids educational attainments and you will go a long way to fixing what is wrong with America.

Cheers, Richard.

All in all during this period, it is nothing related to the future of human being who is isolated.

March forward with full speed, races for dying, fights for Gods.

Then it is true that Prometheus created animal sacrifice and religion. The sacred era, 3500 years ago.

Prometheus, during this period, at the beginning of which Pandora is offered from Zeus,

do you have the gut ready,

to seize this opportunity, to contain her,

bearing your superior children,

being born from the chest?

But Epimetheus, your brother, is becoming dust in Chimaera.

Frontline:

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/education/education-of-michelle-rhee/transcript-35/

ADELL COTHORNE, Fmr. Principal, Noyes Education Campus: There’s these huge disconnects. They’re struggling academically, yet the data that I have been given is showing great gains. But what I see with my own eyes on a daily basis is not a true picture of great gains.

JOHN MERROW: Cothorne said she stayed late one evening to catch up on work. It was just after the students had taken a DC CAS practice test. And she heard voices coming from one of the rooms.

ADELL COTHORNE:: So I walked into the room and I saw three staff members. There were test books everywhere. One staff member was sitting at a desk and had an eraser. And then there were two other staff members at a round table, and they had test books out in front of them.

And one staff member said to me, in a lighthearted sort of way, “Oh, Principal, I can’t believe this kid drew a spider on the test and I have to erase it.”

"It’s been over two years since Rhee left D.C. She was given unprecedented power and resources to transform the system. She’s shaken up the teacher ranks. IMPACT, her landmark evaluation system, has been awarding performance bonuses or pay increases to hundreds of teachers, and has also terminated nearly 400 of them.

And scores on a national test improved slightly, but the public schools in Washington are still among the worst in the nation and D.C.’s high school graduation rate is dead last."

(Worst? Dead last? So why no lasting results? Answer: the parents.)

Charlie,

Tiger Mom and Michele together?

Bill Gates videotaping Michele teaching?

Michele on the Brain Series to study her "Ghandi Neurons"?

What do you think?

Many possibilities to take this all up a notch.

dcauble  02/20/2013 06:42 PM Report

In the horse to water paradigm there are children that should be left behind. The falsified data that inflated scores in D.C. happened under your watch. Teachers unions don't want weak teachers...wait a second, was that the former mayor crying "mulligan" or you crying for your own political career?

NeilMacCallister  02/19/2013 11:37 PM Report

No, Michelle, ..you are no longer a "Radical". Stop your drama.

You did once fight the Unions, ..but now you just whimper like a beaten puppy about how "genius" Barack Obama's "Race for the Slop" is, ..while simultaneously deriding George Bush's "No Child Left Behind".

Admit it, Michelle, ..you are now with the "Left", ..those people always choosing to go for the money, ..and allowing human progress to be "LEFT BEHIND".

"Radical"?? ..like Jane Fonda marrying Ted Turner? ..or Bill Ayers fighting for his guaranteed government pension? ..Please, you are no "radical".

I hope you and your husband have a really great time spending billions of public dollars trying to buy out Dianne Feinstein's or Barbara Boxer's Senate seats.

MisterMittster  02/19/2013 06:28 PM Report

I know what her problem was, she didn't know "how to talk to white people". That was Marion Berry's great natural gift; he often said during his political campaigns, "...vote for me, becuz I know how to talk to white people...".

No no no, keep it Dumb, Stupid. That's how they like to keep it in the hood. Poor Mayor Williams, and then Fenty and this young lady tryed to make a difference, and they did, the city is much improved since the DingleBerry days. Thanks also to the current police chief; hopefully she can ride it out with this current, slick, good for nothing Mayor. Marion Berry Junior. .. Ax me dat queshun one mo time.

I'm afraid you won't get any better schools or any other govt services in DC, until the ppl are changed, and unlike Horace Mann et al I can't see the indigenous schools doing that, or any schools, period. Education is important; formal education simply is not. Despite all the whining, I think everyone in Washington, professionals and citizenry alike, really knows this, but prefers to wait for the Lord. On the other hand, the place doesn't offer much in the way of alternatives, because so much of it is a ghetto. Had the Constitution been followed and it not been allowed to become a welfare magnet, things might have been different. Luxembourg is an overly wealthy place, too.
