And I agree that making ratings public is just opening up further politicizing - the most assertive parents will end up getting what they want. Not very democratic, imo.Sajidahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826756552339363668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497288803020823348.post-87012377257377466752010-12-09T13:18:05.019-08:002010-12-09T13:18:05.019-08:00I think it's a bad idea and a lazy one at that...I think it's a bad idea and a lazy one at that. <br /><br />I don't care how a teacher is rated. I don't blame teachers for my children's test scores. I take an active role in my children's education, as all responsible parents should.<br /><br />The only thing a teacher should be required to do is to make sure your child has the opportunity to learn within his/her classroom. If, as a parent, you feel that goal is not being achieved, it is YOUR job as the parent to find out if the problem is the teacher, the school, your child...or YOU.<br /><br />By the way, I am not a teacher but I have raised two daughters to adulthood as well as volunteer my time to help my friends' and co-workers' children when they are struggling in school. <br /><br />I grew up with a mother who was struggling to learn English and I made sure that I got everything I could out of every class I attended, whether the teacher was good or not.<br /><br />I really don't think a teacher's hands should be tied any tighter than they already have been.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08810246558284580306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497288803020823348.post-56257750311736774072010-12-09T11:12:53.972-08:002010-12-09T11:12:53.972-08:00Oooo...good question.

Maybe the male teachers feel the same.<br />Some, because their parents were teachers. Some don't know what else they could have done, and felt that teaching would be "easy."<br />But the best teacher, regardless of IQ, is the one that cares about the education of kids, and it will show in their students' attitudes. A kid that likes his or her teacher will want to come to school and will put more effort into learning. That kid will also challenge his or her teacher with questions and ideas that will make the teacher strive to be better.<br />I know I didn't answer your question; I guess because I don't know the answer. We all want to know how we can have better teachers and better pay.Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08180243708565855383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497288803020823348.post-26225879108773587192010-12-09T10:05:17.508-08:002010-12-09T10:05:17.508-08:00I think it is tricky.

The ratings can only bring unhealthy competition and stress for teachers.Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10652566920769043373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497288803020823348.post-10043581276310416242010-12-09T08:59:34.809-08:002010-12-09T08:59:34.809-08:00I have been a substitute teacher in English and re...I have been a substitute teacher in English and really do feel for teachers. What do you do when a student refuses to turn in work or even show up? Is that your fault? As parents we need to quit expecting teachers to raise our kids, education happens outside the classroom as well.Nubianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07684802193733592184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497288803020823348.post-24558267025267628602010-12-08T21:25:18.289-08:002010-12-08T21:25:18.289-08:00Thoughtful post, I'm not sure I can build a so...Thoughtful post, I'm not sure I can build a solid argument for either camp.
