Rhee draws on her life story— her years of teaching in inner-city Baltimore; her turbulent tenure as chancellor of Washington\, D.C.\, public schools; and her role as an education activist and founder and CEO of StudentsFirst—to deliver a plan for better American schools that ensures that laws\, leaders\, and policies make students—not adults—our top priority. And\, Rhee says\, that reform is urgent: The United States is known as a world leader in innovation\, brilliant thinkers\, and trendsetting companies\, but that status is at risk. American children are well outside the top-10 international student rankings in reading\, science\, and math\, and those rankings—not to mention our nation’s leadership position—will continue to plummet unless we take dramatic action.
