Great Article on Teacher Unionism

The Washington City Paper has a neat read on the appointment of Michelle Rhee as superintendent of the DC Public Schools, and looks at the kind of relationship she can expect to have with George Parker, president of the teacher’s union there. There’s some minor quibbles (the Unintended Consequences report which Rhee helped co-write, for example, isn’t nearly as profound as they make it out to be), but overall it’s a thoughtful article that should appeal to anyone with an interest in how unions interact with education.
