Michelle Rhee Caption Contest!
Accompanying yesterday's Washington Post story on DCPS student discipline was this photo, taken by Sarah L. Voisin:
It needs a caption!
Perhaps: "Is it raining in here?" or "Red tier, green tier? Red tier, green tier? Red tier, green tier?"
Or something else entirely---put it in the comments!

WTF? The Reader for Best Picture?

"So I had Kevin's balls in this hand, and my BlackBerry in this hand, and..."

"Don't cry for me, Argentina..."
12:48 pm
"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference."
ALTERNATE CAPTION:
"Can you feel that, motherfuckers? It's rainin' praise!"

"So, this is your teacher review. Do I fire you or do I retain you? Fire... retain... fire... retain... Hahahahaha just kidding. Of course you're fired. Now get out of my office!"

Caught off-guard by an irate former employee, Rhee defuses the tension with a neck-snapping rendition of the Bangles classic "Walk like an Egpytian."
3:20 pm
"I DO NOT have a crystal dildo displayed prominently in my office!"
5:44 pm
"Whos worse? Barry or Fenty....I cant decide"
7:32 pm
Now that you've all comfortable prostrating yourselves, raise your heads and chins from the floor and look right at me......and hold it.... hold it hold it

"Can you believe that they pay me $275,000 dollars to do absolutely nothing! Suckers!!!"

"Where's the bee?"
10:19 am
What? I can't hear it when people who don't agree with me talk!
10:21 am
Why CAN'T I send these kids to Guantanamo, they'll be out in a year!
3:48 pm
I'm the motherfucking wicked which of DC! Where's my fucking broom! Rheediculous!
5:05 pm
"Check it out, I'm IMing Fenty right now. Don't believe me? Read my lips, biatch..."
6:32 pm
I ALWAYS keep my Blackberry on vibrate.

Educate the kids or placate the grown-ups? Educate or placate? Educate or placate?

WHAT do you mean, "Some kids can't learn?!?!?
9:27 pm
"While teaching Baltimore, I took my students from the 13th to the 90th percentile in just one year, and telling that to Fenty and the D.C. City Council is what got hired... You doubt this claim?... Honestly, I DID raise my students' acheivement that much... What's that? You want documentation? Just trust me on this, folks... It's true... really... it is... well, I have no documentation... Oh yeah, well, I don't care if you think I'm lying... I got Fenty to buy my 13th-to-90th-percentile baloney, and because of that, there's now nothing you can do to stop me. HA! HA! HA! Suckers!!!"

Magic Johnson, Kevin Johnson... I don't give a crap. Its about me.

What do you mean I have no photo-ops or interviews scheduled this week?!?
10:44 am
"Lesson for you, Teach: You come at the Rhee, you best not miss."
12:44 pm
Well, I'm done. DC has decided to go through twelve or thirteen other superintendents this year and also re-elect Barry so children can just grow city government to the size that nobody needs an education because there will be a job waiting for them anyway.
1:42 pm
What do you think I am, STUPID? Of COURSE I know that:
- Parents DO make a difference in their kids’ ability to learn
- Inexperienced teachers are NO WAY superior to experienced teachers
- I didn’t raise any scores in Baltimore from 13% to 90%
- Those principals I fired because they didn’t “fit” really had the goods on me
- I suckered the media into mistaking tough talk for competence
It’s all part of my plan for the DC schools to fail, proving that if even an articulate, young workaholic genius like me can’t succeed, it’s time to shutter the public schools and put me in charge of the charter schools for even bigger bucks!

Off the floor!! Pick yourselves up!! Shut down that web server DeBonis is using to carry this photo caption contest... or never write another editorial for the Post again.
7:31 pm
"How do you not see them? The files that prove I am an effective chancellor are right in my hands."
7:25 am
"Eureka! I mean my panty hose are one size fits all, why not apply the same approach to teaching DCPS kids!"
8:13 am
You don't believe me? I think you will after you see me levitate.
12:07 am
Second and third graders:Please stand up! And keep our little secret!! Ice cream deserts and brand new teachers for you all on Monday.
12:27 am
On the one hand,yeah,I did pick that principal. On the other hand, my personal driver kicks ass; but with his hemmorhoid thingy, needed a different job right away.
5:42 am
"I don't understand why he has that bald head, it makes Fenty look like a pale white penis."
1:03 pm
Look, will somebody please get this coat hanger out of the back of my jacket?
11:30 am
Teachers, you may rise and approach the throne.
3:56 am
I praise thee O Great Father God, for thou hast given me this position for thy purpose. Grant me the power to crush the union, to silence anyone who disagrees with me, and to fire people at will. Strengthen me through the many media interviews to come, and give me the right words to say to tell people how great I am. And hold my hand during the dark days when I fire principals without telling them why. I ask things of you humbing in the name of Myself. Amen
6:41 pm
Yeah, I'm Joel Klein's edu-bitch, so what?
6:48 pm
What do you mean I have to work within a budget approved by the Council? I thought the Council was advisory like the School Board!
5:06 pm
Only in America can a Korean run a predominantly Black school system. Try the reverse; it would never happen! Superintendents should at least run schools first.
As for Fenty, he only hires woman, so he can maintain more control with little resistance. This entire situation is sickening.
