• D.C. mayoral candidate Vincent Gray could have said that dismissal of 241 laggard teachers by #MichelleRhee was sensible. #edreform #DCPS #
  • After all, Gray says he wants to eliminate poor-performing teachers from #DCPS schools, from ruining the education of more kids #edreform #
  • But he didn’t say that. He hedged. He had to “look further”. Well, that tells you that he talks out both sides of his mouth #DCPS #edreform #
  • Enough said. Unfortunately for DC residents, their choice is between #Fenty (marginally effective in everything, but stellar in #edreform #
  • or Gray (untested in everything, too captured by the status quo fueling his campaign to take really strong #edreform positions). #
  • Yeah. That bad #edreform #
  • Could we name #MichelleRhee mayor, please? Or better yet, #JoelKlein #
  • And not just in D.C.; Alexandria and Arlington could use either of them as well. #

  • @EdReformPR We’ve done the integration game. It hasn’t worked. Poor black neighborhoods still never got high-quality schools. #edreform in reply to EdReformPR #
  • @EdReformPR If you are a parent in these neighborhoods, concerns about integration mean nothing if your kid isn’t getting high quality ed in reply to EdReformPR #
