Michael R Butz is a shill for Michelle Rhee and her StudentsFirst.org thing. He wrote this in a blog;
http://www.studentsfirst.org/blog/entry/wanted-250-hours-of-learning-time/I of course wished to share my two cents.
http://www.southbronxschool.com/2011/09/see-more-of-michael-r-butz-of-chicago.htmlI rarely comment, in fact I don't believe I have, on any of the so called "unsolicited" blog posts by concerned parents over at MichelleRheeFirst.org, but tonight I feel compelled to.
One reason is to support my pal TFT, and the other is after reading the specious, disingenuous blabbering of the latest "guest blogger," Michael R. Butz (please, no snickering, and I shall refrain from comments).
Mr Butz sees more time added to the school day as a way for teachers to truly show they care about the students, that as Michelle says, or at least claims, "students come first."
