Government Employees Are the Scum of the Earth

Not being easily measurable isn't an argument against trying to measure something.

I agree with this. I wouldn't trust KH for coming up with an answer.

[Felch]

You're a ******.

Not everything is easily measurable. Exhibit: Mexico has an utterly crappy education system but pays off people's gas and electricity bills (with nationalized PeMex money). People seem to be happy the way it works.

Result: Mexico.

The SNTE is one of the most powerful unions within the Mexican political system. Thanks for reminding us of how right we are.

EDIT: Also, if you agree with Mike, why do you oppose trying to measure teacher performance?

[Fake Boris]

Underfunding is even worse than the Mexican teachers' union.
I teach in a union free private school, and the academic level sucks as much.

[The Mad Monk]

Youre smart enough develop a testing methodology, but you havet even thought about it. Read some of my other thoughts.
Stop being equal parts lazy and *****y.

Why should KH develop a methodology when there is an entire FEDERAL DEPARTMENT chock full of PhDs that SHOULD be able to get the job done?

Stop evading.

What does subsidized energy have to do with crappy education? That entire post is a string of non-sequitors.

They are mostly concerned with special ed cases, not the average cases.

kh should stop evading social responsibilty. And youve ignored ot missed a lot of what ive saod. Get real.

[KrazyHorse]

Wtf, ignoring social responsibility? Read up on the available literature on the usefulness of testing before you make idiotic comments.

[KrazyHorse]

Also, I am in palm beach, scuba diving. I will respond to the rest of you ***** when I get back.

Scuba diving in lieu of working to better the countru. Typical KH, being the crotchety old man he is.

[rah]

As much as I find myself disagreeing with KH on many things, giving a man abuse for taking a vacation is just silly.

[Imran Siddiqui]

I don't think he was seriously giving him abuse.

[rah]

When you spend the whole thread arguing with people and calling KH names, jokes don't sound very sincere.

[KrazyHorse]

It's patently obvious that mrt has no interest in actually discussing the topic now at hand; if he was, then his retort would have consisted of something more meaningful than "if you don't come up with a detailed evaluation methodology on your own (which can't consist of just tests, because I'm going to assert with no evidence our even logic that tests alone aren't appropriate) then nothing you've said has any validity"

He doesn't even know why he holds the opinion he does; it's pure mood affiliation.
