[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1221, I figured it was tinged with sarcasm, but I couldn't help myself. These figures are among the most galling when you consider the "fire the bad teacher" strategy that's been driving school reform in DC since 2007. If the teachers are so awful, why is it that my middle class white kid is learning? And learning just fine, thank you very much, even when enrolled at a Title I school. If it was all about the teachers, wouldn't the scores of the white kids be awful too? [/quote] I don't think anyone wants to pursue a strategy where the only tool is "fire the bad teacher". What I object to is the folks who argue that there are no bad teachers, and that teacher job-security must take precedence over all other considerations. Do you have a problem with firing bad teachers? Or is your point that bad teachers don't exist?[/quote]
