Michelle Rhee is the lighting bolt chancellor of the Washington D.C. school district and she’s made a lot of press lately because she let go a handful of teachers last month.  She’s been viewed as controversial and she’s approaching her second anniversary on the job.  History will be the judge of her work but what can be said is that prior to her arrival, the school district was an abysmal failure and the people who were truly hurt by this were the children who were educated in that school district.  Obviously the status quo could no longer be acceptable and she’s made some clear and dramatic changes.  Let’s hope that we start seeing the results for the sake of these kids.

So what does she think as she enters deeper into her administration?  The Washington Post conducted a video interview of her and asked how things have progressed.

Go to the Washington Post for the video interview.
