Michele Rhee was here last night. [View all]



I'll understand if you don't want to watch the hour and a half video. She was asked what she would do if her daughter's teacher taped her mouth. Her answer was lame. It was a teeny tiny piece of tape, the kids asked for the tape and taped their own mouths, only one kid bled because his lips were chapped, and you know, this story has just been used to demonize Michelle and that doesn't help us reform education.

And she followed that answer with her snide smile.

I wanted to say "You actually GAVE kids tape when they asked for it, to tape their mouths?! Eight year old children?"

Sheesh, she really did suck as a teacher. Thank goodness she quit and became a superintendent.
