Worst Job in America

President of the United States.

Very insightful peace by Clarence Page.

Money quote(s):

Chancellor Rhee, by contrast, is a 38-year-old single Korean-American mother with two young daughters in her troubled 46,000-student system. With the backing of Mayor Fenty, she has closed 23 schools, restructured 27 others, fired more than 250 teachers and dumped about one-third of the system's principals. Still there's more work to be done.

She recently put the critical question to a principal who was defending a teacher, according to Washington Post columnist Fred Hiatt: "Would you put your grandchild in that class?"

"If that's the standard," the principal replied, "we don't have any effective teachers in my school."

Rhee's response: "That is the standard."

Can you see where this is going?  So, Mr. President-Elect: public or private schools in DC?
