A Dimwit Judge

decides it is okay to release completely unreliable and libelous "data" which does nothing but further decimate the teaching profession.

Test scores don't mean fucking shit; there are too many variables, and kids screw around on them all the time. But a judge thinks teachers are a bunch of lazy shits sponging off the taxpayer dime, and therefore their jobs can be measurable.

A Manhattan judge ruled Monday that the Department of Education can release the names and job rankings of more than 12,000 public school teachers.

The decision by Justice Cynthia Kern is a blow to the United Federation of Teachers, which tried to block the DOE from making the internal ratings system public.

A good comment is here.

And where is the union on this? If it's like WEA, it's busy sucking off administrators in hopes of getting cushy little golden parachute jobs in their district and to hell with the teachers.
