Clearly you are not a parent of a child subjected to taking the test, or a teacher working in this current plutocratic environment. This is an environment fostered to take the joy out of school, the creativity out of childhood, and put big money in the pockets of Cuomo's donors.<br />Get with the program.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-50260860346199882312015-04-16T12:48:53.373-04:002015-04-16T12:48:53.373-04:00MS.

If you can't count the tests for all teachers then you shouldn't count them for any teacher. <br /><br />They should never have been counted in the first place. Teacher input does not equal student output, not even close. Student performance on a test does not equal student ability/intelligence/teacher effectiveness. The fact that anyone can try to argue that this makes sense is ridiculous. The fact that lawmakers and governors are arguing it is ludicrous. The fact that unions just roll over and allow it... I don't have words for that. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
