now, you have read an article the other day in one of the local papers by michelle rhee saying the solutionto all of philadelphia's problems is that you don't have reformers pay. gosh, i wish she would read my book.

[applause] so if you want to get better teaching, maybe you better do some investment in human resources or professional development. but simply dangling a reward if of them is actually demoralizing. reason why is because it causes people to compete for the doughnut, but dollars, and they stop collaborating. the way a school succeeds through -- is through collaboration. [applause] you don't want teachers to sit at the table and say i'm going to hold back and not tell them what i know about maria or jo

and the evidence shows that, for example, in washington, d.c., which michelle rhee led for four yearsgap. it's double the size of any other major city in the country, so i wouldn't consider that a model. so i think it's important to look at evidence. but the most important thing we need to do is to recognize the root cause of low performance and its poverty and racial segregation. that's hard to deal with. >> that's great irony, those two things have gone up during the flowering period of education reform. diane ravitch. that is all for this evening. "the rachel maddow show" starts now. >> good evening. thanks for joining us this hour. this is, of course, the fourth day of the shutdown of the federal government. and apparently the fourth day is when the democratic party starts pulling rabbits out of hats to try to save the republican party. >> good afternoon. madam speaker, all of my colleagues, ladies and gentlemen, we are announcing something good today. we are about to rescue the republicans who have gotten themselves in the unhappy position of the dog that caught the car. >> 87-ye
