Hear the inside story of a maverick reformer with a take-no-prisoners management style....
Hailed by Oprah as a "warrior woman for our times", reviled by teachers unions as the enemy, Michelle Rhee, outgoing chancellor of Washington DC public schools, has become the controversial face of school reform. She has appeared on the cover of Time magazine, and is currently featured as a hero in the documentary Waiting for Superman.
This is the story of her journey from good-girl daughter of Korean immigrants to tough-minded political game-changer. When Rhee first arrived in Washington, she found a school district that had been so broken for so long, that everyone had long since given up. The book provides an inside view of the union battles, the school closings, and contentious community politics that have been the subject of intense public interest and debate, along with a rare look at Rhee's upbringing and life before DC.
- Rhee has been featured in the documentary Waiting for Superman
- Rhee's story points to a fresh way of addressing school improvement
- Addresses fundamental problems in our current education system, and the politics of leadership

Michelle Rhee is the winner and the public schools are the losers. She took on the union and did not win -- but she is right. Viewing her in Waiting for Superman tells the truth about the problems with tenure in public schools and the penalty the students pay for very bad teachers. Coming from a family of teachers and instructors dating back over 100 years, I know of what she speaks. College professors earn tenure, public school teachers do not deserve it no matter how hard they work. Contracts and seniority are one thing -- tenure is not appropriate. Rhee is smart and can see the big picture, which many people have become blinded to.Product details

The Bee Eater Michelle Rhee Takes On the Nation Worst School District (Audible Audio Edition) Richard Whitmire Paul Costanzo Audible Studios Books Reviews
I really enjoyed this book and was inspired by Michelle's determination even when it was difficult. Michelle certainly cares about education and about education for those in struggling systems.
Ridiculous no content will never buy this kind of publication again wish I knew what I was buying in advance but one never does.
The subject matter is great. The story is great. It could have been told in far less pages. Worth reading, however, if you want to read about the real world of schools.
As an educator, I see the lack of success many schools experience. Like Rhee, I think teacher quality is the main problem. Additionally, a lack of strong administrative leadership is pervasive. I admire her fierce attempt to tackle the problems in DC schools. I hope she is successful with schools across the nation.
Have read about Michelle Rhee and the work she did in D.C. It's too bad, more teachers and administrators don't pick up where she left off. My granddaughter is working on her Master's in Education. I got this book for her as a present. She's an avid reader and excellent with children. Hopefully she will be inspired.
Did not just extoll the vision of Michelle Rhee but gave an accurate picture of the political cost of educational reform in this country. At the same time, the author points out the simple political gaffs made by Rhee and insensitivity that permeated her quest. A good lesson for those who advocate needed changes in education and are unrealistic about the impact those changes may have.
The book successfully covers how Washington, D.C.'s Chancellor of public schools, Michelle Rhee, rose through the educational ranks to take on the country's worst urban school system. It details her courageous four year tenure, her "in-your-face" attitude to improve the schools despite turning off many parents, councilpersons, and union leaders , and the reasons for her eventual dismissal.
The book is not one-sided; it examines Rhee's considerable talents as well as her faults.
For me, the imprint left by the book is is the chief goal of educational administrators to give children the best education possible no matter what, or to protect the jobs of those who work for educational institutions?
I wonder how often administrators say the former but in fact do the latter.
