[quote=Anonymous]I just hope that some of these comments are coming from non-teachers because they are so far off.  You can't fire your way out of a problem.  Who are you going to replace these teachers with - novice teachers?  What will these novice teacher need to be successful - professional development!  I'm sure DC has crappy teachers but you certainly don't need IMPACT to know whether they are crappy or not.  You can probably identifying those people within 5 minutes.  So you get rid them and you bring in new people.  No one is arguing that  - and for some to keep comparing teaching to the business world is silly.  Teaching and learning is an art form and you need support and training and good, sound, on time, professional development in order to have a high quality teacher in every classroom.  You will need these things whether you fire everyone and rehire everyone (every year) or not.  Welcome to the world of education.  If DC doesn't figure out a way to make sure that every teacher, in every classroom has sound opportunities for professional development we will be saying the same thing that we usually say 10 years from now "remember IMPACT, what good did that do for DC schools?[/quote]
