Arne Duncan and his push for charter schools have been dealt a setback.
_____
The idea of using student test scores to "measure" teacher "performance" is so stupid as to be laughable, especially when you consider kids don't take standardized tests seriously to begin with.
Of course administrators aren't held to any such standards. They already abuse their power as it is, and teachers will be treated even worse with these dumb ideas.
Ohanian says Duncan and politicians like George Miller, a so-called Democrat like Arne, are killing the teaching profession. The profession has already been on life support since the Reagan years. Nobody in his or her right mind would go into this field now with the privatizers and more crooks overtaking the schools.
