Nancy’s editorial concerning teacher evaluation is very interesting. She speaks about how a bill has recently been passed that will allow school boards evaluate their teachers on performance in the classroom. Which she completely agrees is a fantastic idea. She does a great job of explaining everything.
Her opinion that “Teachers cannot be evaluated solely based on the numbers: attendance, passing rates, and test scores” is completely true. She does a good job of justifying her reasoning as to why she believes numbers aren’t everything. I completely agree with the fact that a teacher in a low-funded school district should not be judged and compared to another teacher from a very well off academic district. It is simply no fair to the teacher!
Along with her commentary, she provides a method by which this could be a more fair game. Her suggestion is to have the student’s opinion instead of the evaluation of grades, attendance, and etc. After all, they are the ones who are receiving the schooling, let them be the ones to have a say in these budget cuts.
