The Students First website was created by the former chancellor of the D.C. public schools, Michelle Rhee. She created the site after she was fired by the new mayor of D.C. The site was made to help safe the jobs of effective teachers. Every year thousands of effective teachers are loosing their jobs because of budget cuts. Meanwhile, teachers on ten year, whether effective or not, keep their jobs at their fixed pay.
The mission of this site is to develop a new model of "kids first." Too often the adults in control forget all about the needs of our future leaders. Children are experiencing all the heat when it comes to decisions made. They have no say in their own education. We need to flip politicians and unions minds and make them stop thinking about the adults and put their concern for the children. This is a great website to future teachers who will be in this category of "high risk." Effective teachers are the most important thing in educating students. We need to protect them and our children because our future depends on them.
