Tests to Evaluate Teachers

The standardized evaluation of teachers

through tests (and the tests of their students)would mean that teachers will be judged for

how they do on a test more than how they

teach in a classroom or act with their

students.

All teachers would be tested on the samematerial even though the schools they teach

in are very different.

If teachers cannot pass the test in 3 tries,they will be fired.
