What We Tolerate (and for Whom) v. What the Rich Demand: On Teacher Quality - 0 views

Mathieu Plourde on 13 Jun 14"Until we address the scarcity in children's lives and schools, addressing teacher quality is a futile distraction, just as continuing to change standards and tests is a futile distraction. Instead of labeling, ranking, and then firing teachers, our first best step would be to end the cult of high-stakes testing because the problems of education are mostly systemic (social and educational) and not the adults who choose to teach or the children we seek to serve."
