Not gonna lie. Feels kinda good to have the administrator on a thread I created.

And to Bill. I think that would just about solve it. Now lets all get together, form a piece of legislation that provide vouchers to parents who want their children to receive an education from a private institution. #merica

It should be based on the pass fail rate of the students. Like it was said previously, salesman can say "You can't make a customer buy" but the great salesman close the majority of the time.

Now as for a standard. Like it's stated above, figure out where the child is at academically and place them accordingly. Give them a good teacher who can make them progress and at the end of the EOCs for everyone. Teachers with unacceptable failure rates aren't doing their due diligence. I'm only 22 but I remember all the teachers who would help at the end of the day if you didn't understand a concept or needed so extra help.

It's like our teachers want to get paid, a pretty good wage I might add, and not really have to teach more than what is required by law. Take the law out of it, still fund the schools and the teachers, and require the parents to sign off on homework. Problem solved.

Now if we could just get our politicians to understand... Legislation needs to be passed banning all unions related to public establishments

I've seen the documentary. Pretty sad to see how we have failed our future generation of students/teachers.

Interesting fact: Almost 40% of Chicago teachers send their kids to private schools.

Didn't know about the private school teachers' kids. Thanks for the info.

26000 teachers in Chicago strike while 350000 kids aren't getting an education. I understand we all want job security and good pay. I think teachers deserve it more. The real issue isn't a fair teacher evaluation. It's what we allow our teachers to do. STOP mandatory state testing and let teachers actually oh I don't know.....TEACH!
