I always thought that was a stupid way to judge a teacher. If the kids just won’t listen and refuse to do work, there’s not much a teacher can do. It’s like if a doctor had a patient who refused treatment, and then the patient’s condition worsened. You wouldn’t blame the doctor. It was the patient who refused treatment. It should be the same way with teachers.
I always hated those tests. The schools make such a big deal about them. However, for the other tests, they do not. Kinda makes you think… Side note. Today I will probably be testing XD
Actually, you are being “tested” at work every day. Not in the sense of “fill in the bubbles with a Number 2”, but if you mess up, you will end up with a permanent vacation without pay.
If you look at the times when they were published, she made fun of Bush barely a few times a year. I think there was at least a six-month gap between the previous Bush joke and this one.
Some of the tests are more for the teachers than the students. If a teacher hasn’t taught something well enough, it will show up on the tests.

No Child Left Behind Logic: Take Money AWAY from Under-Preforming Schools; makes sense to me!
Throwing good money after bad is always a self-defeating idea. 😛
You’re trying to apply market “logic” to public institutions, an entirely different beast.
Hey look, another “Dana hates Bush comic!” I was getting worried, we hadn’t seen one for a few weeks.
…you do understand these aren’t being produced in real time as you read them, right? 😉
The man quite literally implemented bad educational policy. How often do you take tests where you work?

“Weeks”?

Standardized tests really aren’t a great idea. I sort of see the idea behind them but not all children are the same.
