Students First Website

http://www.studentsfirst.org/

The website, studentsfirst.org, is a website that strives for a movement to transform public education. It's lead by Michelle Rhee, who is the former Chancellor of D.C. Public Schools. When a new mayor was hired Michelle Rhee was let go, but instead of stopping her fight to change the educational system she decided to start the "student's first" website and organization, she started this because of the huge demand for a better educational system in America. One of the huge issues is that unions are putting the teachers first instead of the students. The goal of this  mission is to put the "students first" and imporve the quality of the education they are recieving. We watched a video in class where Michelle Rhee explained the goals of the mission and introduce a petition that can be sigined on the website to get things started. There is clearly a problem with our education system and I think this is a great website, and hopefully will be the start to some much needed impovements and changes.
