[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The main decision maker, Jason Kamras, is a Princeton grad. The chancellor is a Georgetown grad and the former Chancellor, who with Henderson and Kamras devised the IMPACT evaluation system, has Cornell and Harvard degrees. Not exactly "barely literate."[/quote] Are you really that dense? The issue isn't whether the people who devised these tools are illiterate. It's whether those who are tasked with using them in practice are stupid and incompetent. The teacher put her superiors on notice that there was a problem and they not only ignored her warnings, but fired her. You might almost ask if her firing was akin to a retaliatory discharge. The sheer idiocy does indeed validate the decision that so many have made to leave DC for superior public school systems elsewhere. It may change for the better eventually, but the pace of improvement is very, very slow. [/quote] Actually it is Jason Kamras, creator of IMPACT and head of "Human Capital" who decides which teachers are fired.[/quote]
