New York Measuring Teachers by Test Scores - NY Times

Thanks D. for emailing me the article New York Measuring Teachers by Test Scores - NY Times by Jennifer Medina

As for what I think...ARGH is about all I'll say in writing...ok - make that ARGH ARGH ARGH

One question though - anyone making a connection between the article in the WSJ about behavior problems in pre-school and the unrelenting pressure and emphasis being put on testing and test scores? I am and have been for quite a while. I was also discussing the WSJ article (post below) with my 90 year old mentor/professor last week and the first thing she said was "maybe they're trying to teach them too much". There you go. Out of the mouth of experience....


I'll be happy to talk to you about the article and the implications for J. when we meet this week but as for a request for a blog reaction this is about all I'm comfortable with.

Argh.

Enjoy the day,
