Like that is the most wonderful thing in the world??? Yep I would be surprised if it is critical.

"FRONTLINE correspondent John Merrow was granted unprecedented access to Michelle Rhee, the former chancellor of the Washington, DC public schools as she attempted to fix a broken school system. Rhee is one of the most admired — and reviled — school reformers. What legacy did she leave in D.C.? Can it help save the failing school system?"

I may just read comments on line. I get too angry watching her speak. She has done so much harm to teachers, been so insulting toward them.
