  • Its interesting that Teach for America developed a model so similar to Drucker's idea of Management by Objectives etc.

    And because of that similarity its all the more interesting that Teach for America is often chided for being unsympathetic to veteran teachers and community leaders or disparaging "ineffective" teachers.

  • Drucker "assumed that his readers were intelligent, rational, hardworking people of good will. If their organizations struggled, he believed it was usually because of outdated ideas, a narrow conception of problems, or internal misunderstandings" TFA alums like Michelle Rhee (DC Chancellor) don't make those same assumptions about career teachers.
