Governor Brownback Wages War on Teachers

This is the latest outrage from the heartland:

Gov. Sam Brownback has formally introduced his 138-page school finance overhaul, and it includes a provision that Brownback officials had not discussed before publicly: a proposal to evaluate teachers, partly based on student achievement, and post their rankings on the Internet.

That plan received a rough welcome on Thursday from several Republican and Democratic legislators and the Kansas National Education Association.

State Sen. Jean Kurtis Schodorf, R-Wichita, and chairwoman of the Senate Education Committee, described the evaluation proposal as "pretty toxic."

Just like the L.A. Times "rankings." It's all a bunch of shit to shame teachers into quitting.
