It's littered with people using nonprofits for personal enrichment, from the Smithsonian Institution to college presidencies. Michelle Rhee has (indirectly of course) hinted as much about the Teachers Institute by the way, though much more subtly. And guess what, starting an education nonprofit seems to have worked out OK for her, too.<BR/><BR/>I like to follow the money and connect the dots...look for who knows whom, etc.cshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14117846384130187926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11020751.post-11683611861283495032008-06-19T18:37:00.000-04:002008-06-19T18:37:00.000-04:00You need to do some homework before you start maki...You need to do some homework before you start making such wild accusations. Both New Leaders and The New Teacher Project are NON PROFIT organizations. When is the last time you ever heard of anyone getting rich working for a nonprofit? I know the founders of both organizations along with many of their talented, devoted staff. Trust me...no one is in the business of education reform for the money. Until you know what is in these people's hearts, you are not at liberty (and that goes for you, too, Cuff) to make such huge assumptions about them or their organizations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11020751.post-47256235981546381662008-06-19T08:57:00.000-04:002008-06-19T08:57:00.000-04:00Anon: I wonder if the woman is somehow involved in...Anon: I wonder if the woman is somehow involved in New Leaders for New Schools, the New Teachers Project, or some other nonprofit set up to siphon money out of education. If so, that would go a long way to explaining it all.

Start a charter...no experience or qualifications necessary.<BR/><BR/>Seriously though, school turnaround is a complicated issue -- it takes a community working together, even if that community starts with one person rallying others. And it's fight fight fight. We had to fight neighbors in order to renovate our school's playground. A playground, for godsake.<BR/><BR/>Now try to deal with kids who didn't do their homework last night because they were dodging bullets.cshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14117846384130187926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11020751.post-87896699754417487752008-06-18T11:13:00.000-04:002008-06-18T11:13:00.000-04:00This school stuff is just so depressing.
