Rhee: stepping down!

Embattled D.C. Superintendent, Michelle Rhee, steped down today. And Mayor Adrian Fenty lost the primary last month to the Vincent C. Gray, city council chairperson. Interestingly, Rhee campaigned for the Mayor during his re-election bid ironically in the white section of town.

"There is some notion buried in our educational experiments that we still don’t really know how to teach kids, or that there is some silver bullet waiting to be discovered. We do know how, and there isn’t a magical answer."
