Mommyish Poll: Should Poor Teachers Be Developed Or Fired?
Impact does take into account test scores, but many teachers find themselves being penalized for others things like kids eating in class or texting. Others report that the new system is better at “sorting and firing teachers than at helping struggling ones,” to quote The New York Times. Given how needed teachers are, and how little resources so many receive, are we really in position to let those willing to take up teaching go so easily? Yet, I can also understand that if teachers don’t really exhibit the fundamentals of being good teachers, why continue to spend the scant amount of funds available for education?
What do you think, mommies?
