Other articles have reported that districts can choose to have unusual patterns of erasures flagged at no extra charge, but few districts take this option.

Somewhere, Michelle Rhee is saying that it's all because she didn't fire ALL of the teachers.

Isn't Rhee coming to Pgh as a participant in the Speakers' Series sponsored by RMU? maybe she will talk about this.

Do people still bring rotten tomatoes and heads of lettuce to speeches? And will someone please publish Samuel Hazo's wonderful editorial in the PG the other day and send it to Rhee?

I am sure that a great many of the women at the top of PPS administration and many of the PELAs will be in attendance. To them, Rhee is their goddess. She is representative of everything they hold true: teachers are the root of all evil. Get rid of as many as possible. They may even tailgate in the parking lot.

When will that day of reckoning be coming anyway...when administrators who are pretenders and know nothing PELAs are shown the door and have to use their "talents" appropriately---as greeters at WalMart.

WHY is it relevant what gender administrators are??!!

Questioner, what's relevant is the that we have like minded angry women. We have women who ostensibly went to school to be in education but seem to "get off" on managing people--especially teachers.
That we are top heavy in women is noteworthy.

What if "women" in the last post was changed each time to "administrators"?
