meet the new boss, same as the old boss

Looks as though Rhee's lieutenant, Kaya Henderson, could the interim pick to replace the poisonous Michelle Rhee, who is revving up her broom this morning for a quick departure following a news conference in DC...

From WaPo:

. . . .In Henderson, Gray inherits someone in tune with Rhee on the fundamentals of education reform, especially the belief that teacher quality is the most important determinant of student success. Rhee and Henderson worked together at the New Teacher Project, a teacher recruiting nonprofit group that Rhee founded and ran before she was appointed by Fenty in June 2007. Henderson was a vice president for the group.

1. Too much $$$ invested for privatizers to just walk away.

They're unlikely to let something so inconsequential as an election effect their plans.


Elections... as Leonie Helmsley famously said about taxes... are for the * little * people.

2. Can you imagine the political fallout if they actually

voiced the major determinant? It's so much easier to scapegoat teachers.
