Michelle Rhee uses StudentsFirst to sell memoir
Is this putting students first? Michelle Rhee’s new memoir is set to go on sale Tuesday and she is already trying to hawk it, using the website of her school reform organization, StudentsFirst, to attract buyers. The site has a free excerpt, which I found out about when I received the letter below from Rhee.

Dear Valerie –
When I first started out in education, I had no idea just how challenging — and how rewarding — my path would be.
The road from a second-grade classroom at an inner-city Baltimore school to founding The New Teacher Project and running D.C.’s public schools was anything but easy. I saw first-hand how we fall behind on critical issues in public education: why income and achievement are so closely linked; why teachers who excel aren’t recognized appropriately; and why education isn’t at the forefront of every lawmaker’s agenda.
