[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd rather not rely on a teacher who may or may not be objective.  Sure the vast majority may be great and fair, but god forbid your kid's 3rd grade teacher isn't.

Even if parents may not be qualified or even horribly biased, it doesn't matter because the test itself is an objective measure.[/quote]

In what ways would a teacher not be objective? Typically, they are not related to the kids in their classes and if they were, the principal could easily set up a situation so that the teacher would not be evaluating his or her own relative.

Although I had many amazing wonderful teachers in my youth, there were a few who were mean spirited and unfairly biased against some kids.

If teachers were such great metrics of a kid's merit why bother pesky things like SATs?

Even a kid's GPA does not rely on the opinion of one single teacher but many.

This just seems like a terrible idea.[/quote]

teachers aren't necessarily objective but neither are parents.  won't the kids still be given the actual HGC test?   that should be somewhat objective[/quote]
