dc schools national test scores have increased for the 3rd straight year, ms rhee seems to be effective....though i think boston public schools have really moved the needle in the last 5 yrs, they should be the benchmark....lets see what happens next year with bobb, hes only had 1 year and a few months 'in control' we should think of his task as a 3 yr role. lets face it we expect instant results but we did not get where we are instantly.
