studentsfirst.org

      We were asked in class to write about the website studentsfirst.org.  This is a non-profit organization.  It’s a movement to transform education.  Also, this site wants people to come together to save great teachers because usually the teachers that are the last ones hired are the first ones to leave, even if they are great. The site is led by Michelle Rhee, the former chancellor of Washington D.C.  Here is the mission of the website, “Our 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.”  I think that this is a great thing that Rhee is doing.  We need more people like the ones that are associated with this site if we want our education system to improve.
