Today I stumbled across an article in the TIME magazine I picked up during my lunch. As you know I am interested in the field of education and this particular article grabbed my attention. It's about a woman named Michelle Rhee, many might not be aware of who she is, or what's she's accomplishing in the district of Colombia . But I was simply intrigued by her vivacity and her vision. The vision of creating schools that actually focus on the children, and her plan to insure their success. Many students today on a nation wide level face struggles that in her opinion should not even be an obstacle. The obstacle are the providers, the people that students depend on to teach them, to guide them, to inspire them. Teachers are the tool to the future in my opinion they are as important as the law makers and leaders of this great nation. Their goal is to promote and produce well rounded, wise individuals yet for some reason teachers primarily in cities where violence and chaos thrall are losing their reason for teaching, which in doubt hurt their students, our future. We find ourselves in a crucial time period where incompetent teachers can not be over looked nor tolerated and Michelle Rhee is trying to change that.
