[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not generally a fan of the unions, but I do highly value education. And I do think the teachers' union has a legitimate concern with tying children's standardized test scores to a teacher's performance evaluation. If you have a class of lower-income, at-risk children, you are much more likely to have lower test scores. Unless there is some method of protection in the evaluation system that accounts for this, such a performance measure could be disasterous for many otherwise great teachers. I understand the need for objective criteria that measures performance. This likely is one of those government ideas that sounds great on paper, but causes all kinds of trouble in practice. [/quote] +1 Amen. Teachers cannot substitute for parents and cannot counteract poor health, diet and parenting choices all of which they have NO control over. They can do their damndest, but they aren't God.[/quote]
