Those strings aren't all bad: High-quality educational tests. Ways to recruit and retain top teachers in hard-to-staff schools. Longitudinal data systems that let schools track long-term progress.
I'm not terribly fond of testing - I seem to remember feeling like I took standardized tests every week in elementary school... But I think the quality of teaching professionals is suffering big time. Quality teachers have been leaving teaching profession in droves for YEARS. Who's left teaching? Bad teachers with tenure, young inexperienced teachers, and a precious few gems who haven't been run off yet. -Cameron On Mon, Jan 19, 2009 at 8:21 PM, Scott Stroz <boyz...@gmail.com> wrote: > Banking industry gets a blank check to do whatever they want...schools get > money, but with strings attached... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:285457 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
