I haven’t seen the movie, but I have read quite a bit about it, both pro and con. There was an interesting article in USA Today (link below) earlier this week that raises the question of the veracity of the sudden increases in standardized test scores during Rhee’s tenure as the chancellor of the DC schools.
A good friend, a dedicated teacher in Baltimore, has told me she is a charlatan who will ultimately do more damage to the schools than good. After reading the article, I’m inclinded to believe him.
