The Post’s editorial suggests that New York City hire outgoing DC Schools Chancellor Michelle Rhee but wonders what position to offer her (“An All-Star for NYC Schools,” Oct. 14).
I suggest we hire Rhee to oversee our city’s charter schools, which are being outperformed by our unionized public schools, according to the Department of Education’s most recent progress reports.
Our children deserve better than to be stuck in failing charter schools. Let’s put Rhee to work.

If Rhee comes to New York, let her become a classroom teacher in one of our many Schools Under Registration Review.
Rhee was an expert at getting out of the classroom and fleeing to the world of supervision. It’s so easy to criticize from the outside.
Let her start teaching under the conditions that she and Chancellor Joel Klein have both created in their respective positions.
In NYC, over 4,500 class-size grievances have been filed, and Klein refuses to bring the excess teachers back into the classroom.
It’s common sense that these competent teachers would help to lower class sizes.
