Holy SHIT! They want to take away ONE QUARTER of the country's teachers' licenses based on STUDENT scores?! That is unbelievable!
What an awful system. All it will serve to do is make fewer teachers willing to teach in the places that need good teachers the most - the places where kids are most likely to get bad scores on standardized tests. Yeesh.
I sincerely hope that does not pass. Could our educational system even survive with 25% of its teachers being fired annually?
