[lbo-talk] DC fires teachers

This is the equivalent of shooting soldiers in WWI for refusing to fight. 

Nothing else I have to say is printable.

Washington, D.C. schools Chancellor Michelle Rhee announced Friday the 
firing of 241 teachers who did not meet standards set forth by a new 
district-wide evaluation system. 

The new system, known as IMPACT, for the first time ties D.C. teachers' job 
performance to their students' performance on standardized tests.

Amazingly nasty. Why wasn't Rhee fired long ago? Anybody from DC want to 
comment on this?
