the Washington D.C. public schools (DCPS) began heading in the direction of failure with some of the lowest performing students with in the nation. Michelle Rhee, a former Teach for America teacher and an education reform advocate, was hired as the Chancellor in 2007 by Mayor Adrian Fenty, who emphasized education. Rhee believed that the accountability and quality of the teachers was crucial to the effectiveness of the students’ education and implemented the IMPACT system. In this paper, by using Moore’s Strategic Management Triangle, I will evaluate Rhee’s performance and argue that there was potential for the success of the reform agenda, but the misalignment of Rhee’s and the public’s value of substance, the lack of legitimacy from the community of politics, the administrative and operational infeasibility of the IMPACT system of administration caused Rhee to fail to deliver public value needs in the education reform. Substance Moore (2004) defines substance as the plan or purpose a public…

Teachers with tenures become lazy, and bad teachers because it doesn’t matter what results…

Michelle articulated clearly with her answers and provided thorough information. She presented as a very knowledgeable and experienced practitioner, who has done a lot of speaking about her profession. Our body language was very open as we sat across from each other.

Apart from the domestic factors, what are the external causes for the Korean War? → First, the U.S. withdrew its troops from South Korea by the end of June 1949. South Korean President Syngman Rhee insisted on the necessity of the U.S. troops in Korea as a deterrent to aggression and consequent civil war. However, the Truman administration made a decision of withdrawal and it was based on the conclusion of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in 1947, that the U.S. has little strategic interest in…

When the USAMGIK was first being set up, John Reed Hodge, the American general who was assigned to command the occupation of Korea, attempted to keep the colonial government in power. This proved unwise, and the USAMGIK faced popular resistance, leading up to Daegu October Incident in 1946. The Incident, which was a mass uprising by Korean workers, PRK supporters and communists throughout the southern Korea, led to the outlawing of most leftist parties in southern Korea prior to the elections…
