One Parent’s Polite Response – #Rheediculous – Money Over Children ? #TryAgainRhee

A few days ago, many parents here in Florida received an email from a representative of Michelle Rhee’s organization, ‘Students First. The person who wrote the email is Catherine Robinson. Apparently, she works for the organization ran by Michelle Rhee.  

(I refuse to link to Rhee’s Student First website – but you may google ‘Students First’ to find the web address. It is easy to find, her link sits right below this link:  )

So, about this email. Apparently, Ms. Robinson offered Florida parents a chance to win a $5 gift card. The parents were encouraged to go online and jump from article to article. They were encouraged to write ‘polite’ comments in favor of  Rhee’s idea of ‘transformative’ (corporate) education reform.
