Michelle Rhee's Policy Agenda Translated


The above is part of the introduction page to Students First's "Pretty Policy Agenda."  I have no idea why the file has such a silly name.  Perhaps "pretty" is all the good they could claim it contains?  Weird.

I will translate the bullet points for you:

1.  Value is a euphemism for (or did she just shorten) evaluating teachers based on the test scores of students.

2.  Real choices means vouchers.

3.  Spending taxpayer's money wisely means make states change laws to allow for more charters, which have been shown to be no better, and often worse than traditional public schools.

Her job is to privatize education for her benefactors.
