Something funny about Failed DC Chancellor Michelle Rhee’s TNTP bio
Before she started StudentsFirst, Rhee ran an education consultancy called The New Teacher Project (TNTP). Her bio on the old TNTP website is very interesting. Rhee’s short biography stays pretty much the same from2001 through 2003. And then, this line appears:
“Her teaching career started at Harlem Park Community School in Baltimore, MD, where her outstanding success in the classroom earned her acclaim on Good Morning America and The Home Show, as well as in the Wall Street Journal and the Hartford Courant.”
It sounds fantastic, doesn’t it? In her three short years as a teacher in Baltimore, Rhee somehow managed to earn accolades from Good Morning America and The Wall Street Journal? What’s Rhee’s secret? Good ole’ fashioned resume inflation, as it turns out. Only the Hartford Courant covered Rhee’s school. Rhee was mentioned in the piece, but not lauded for her “outstanding success.”
Just like
