I don't agree with the fact the teachers are evaluated based on their test scores alone. If the teachers are evaluated on test scores alone, then that's stereotyping. Just because that particular teacher has a low test score doesn't mean they are a bad teacher. That's not true at all. The teacher can engage his or her students with fun lessons, and they would not be a bad teacher. The ratings, in my opinion, can also be flawed. Who really know if the ratings are really accurate or not? Not many people actually know whether the ratings are accurate or not. Like the article said, the data is based on disproportionate to actual teaching practices. The data itself is not good.
Either way, people are going to get hurt. In this case, the teachers are going to get hurt. Teachers could get let go because of these evaluations. But people still won't do anything about the situation, which hurts. Parents at the school aren't speaking out about the situation. The parents didn't side with the teachers on this one;they sided with the ratings. What is worse is that some of the parents claimed they did not trust the ratings;only deep down they trust them anyway. That is just wrong.
The future of these teachers are very slim. The teachers may lose their jobs because of these stupid ratings. I certainly don't want that.
