[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From the Post article:
     " There is a growing national movement to to base teacher evaluations on student performance, but it hasn't reached Fairfax.
So instead of asking how much a teacher's students have progressed, administrators ask how faithfully a teacher uses methods
the county deems effective.
     In other words, the focus is on how teachers teach instead of whether students learn."

Her students did just as well as the other students in the school.  So obviously her teaching methods didn't hurt her students any.  Several parenst and former students testified on her behalf.[/quote]

She had favorite students & those were the ones who testified on her behalf. As a previous pupil of Ms. Nichols, I can tell you that her methods DID hurt the students who weren't favored. I was so terrified of her that I stopped asking questions all together. She taught me to be frightened of authority through humiliating me (and others) in front of the entire class. This woman isn't some poor victim...[/quote]
