Time Magazine<\/b> has a great article on Michelle Rhee, Chancellor of Washington DC's public schools. Rhee<\/b> grew up in a nice neighborhood in Toledo, Ohio, a middle child, between two brothers. Her parents immigrated from South Korea several years before she was born, so that her father could study medicine at the University of Michigan. Rhee<\/b> has promised to make Washington the highest-performing urban school district in the nation, a prospect that, if realized, could transform the way schools across the country are run. She is attempting to do this through a relentless focus on finding–and rewarding–strong teachers, purging incompetent ones and weakening the tenure system that keeps bad teachers in the classroom. Rhee<\/b> graduated from Cornell University in 1992, joined Teach for America and is now causing quite a controversy in her pursuit to rework DC's public schools.
