[quote=Anonymous][quote]What teachers fear more than anything is accountability (which is what teachers' unions were beginning to protect them from). So, spare me. I remember what brought this all on in the first place. It wasn't pretty. [/quote] What teachers fear more than anything is accountability based on shoddy and crude measurements that don't take many factors into consideration. You should be worried about that as well. But since things were so bad before, I guess we have a crisis and some good teachers can be sacrificed on the altar of mediocrity. These "tests" should NEVER be used as high stakes instruments for either a teacher or a student. They are far from perfect for every individual and every circumstance. There are too many variables and using them creates mediocrity. [/quote]
