Wisconsin Takes A Stand For Fiscal Sanity

[giblets]

So teachers are supposed to be evaluated based on how their students perform in the tests they give?

[Kuciwalker]

The point is that if we have evaluation systems that we think are good enough to use for the very important task of ranking students, then it is total bull**** that we don't trust ourselves to rank teachers.

[giblets]

Yes, we rank students by the grades their teachers give them. Somehow that gives us information about teacher performance?

[Kuciwalker]

We should at least rank teachers by the grades administrators give them. But, surprisingly, teachers' unions balk at that suggestion.

Are you retarded?

It's not all that shocking that teachers are so bad at what they do when they have captive funding and clients.

I'll leave that to you to decide...

Okay. Trusting administrators to rank teachers instead of "trusting ourselves" is probably a good idea.

Who are you trying to suck up to? Or do you think imitating others will impress them?

[Hauldren Collider]

What makes you think I'm imitating? Or sucking up? Everything you have said in this thread is a pathetic joke. I reached that conclusion on my own, as did several other people.

I reached that conclusion by reading your posts in this thread.

Am I the only one suspecting HC of being a gribbler DL?
