losing rhee for another deformer? bob bobb (detroit), deb gist (the rhode island "fire them all"

[Hannah Bell]

super....to mention the worst.

Who is Robert Bobb? Bonus Bob is a Broad Academy alum (Class of '05) who was sent to Detroit to dismantle the public schools there. He has spent an inordinate amount of time in court trying to hang on a $145,000 in bonus pay from the Broad Foundation for his work in Detroit. He has six months left on his contract before he is run out of town. The Michigan Citizen concludes that "he has all but destroyed the district."

Deborah Gist is another Broad alum (Class of '08) who was behind the firing of the teachers in Central Falls, Rhode Island. She is now State Superintendent in Rhode Island, but she is on the What's Hot list of the Billionaire Boys' Club. A replacement for Arne Duncan in an imaginary second term for Obama?

And Barbara Byrd-Bennett? She is unpopular wherever she goes unless we're talking about a corporate board room. She shows such fealty to the education business that she is Superintendent-in-Residence (whatever that means) at Harcourt. Oh yes, did I say she works for Bonus Bob in Detroit?

The blood suckers are definitely on the hunt, and you can bet that the Broad-Gates-Walton team is planning the next strategic move.

Amen to your last sentence, and may I add--trampled by steers.

3. I'm all too familiar with Bob Bobb. Since the mass retirements

this past June, the class sizes have tripled and he doesn't have enough teachers. Not even after calling back those he laid off. This is truly a sad situation.
