StudentsFirst Tackles the Olympics?

Michelle Rhee's Students First published this funny yet poignant video. It explains America's educational standing in comparison with the rest of the world in terms of Olympics performance.

While you may or may not be a fan of Rhee, the fact is, in terms of test scores in Reading in Math, the average American student is behind many of his or her international peers.

If you are interested in Students First and/or want to "Sign the Pledge" to "put students needs first" posted on Students First, check out the source link below.

Sometimes in life the women who make strong impacts or shake up a system in which we grow accustomed to accepting, are not the most amiable people among the masses. This may be said about our next honoree Michelle Rhee, but we disagree. Rhee is also a product of Teach for America, as upon completion of the training program she taught in Baltimore for three years. She took her own struggles as a teacher and turned them into triumph, drastically increasing results of her students pass rates on standardized tests. In this same effort, she launched The New Teacher Project, a nonprofit that had trained 23,000 professionals wanted to become teachers within ten years of its inception. Rhee was the chancellor of Washington D.C public schools from 2007 to 2010, who was said to have fired 241 teachers, and put 737 additional school employees on notice. She remains a highly controversial figure because of her aggressive style of reform and anti-union sentiments. Since she resigned as chancellor she started an organization entitled Students First, whose mission is to build a national movement to defend the interests of children in public education and pursue transformative reform, so that America has the best education system in the world. Thank you for pushing for better education in this country and for that we honor you Michelle Rhee. #WWWGroupHonors #NationalWomensMonth #MichelleRhee #tfa
