Education is such an interesting topic especially for someone like myself that has never attended K-12 in California. The whole API rating system, the greatschools ratings....its just a mind boggling decision to make when choosing to live in San Diego and preparing kids for school.

I just read something that LA Unified is proposing in regards to another metric for rating schools which focuses exclusively on teacher performance. If this were to go through, what impact do you think another metric like this will have and will it be something you would value as a parent? This is assuming that it would be reaching us here in SD County.

"Next month, the district will take the more controversial step of providing thousands of teachers with confidential ratings of their performance using the same approach, known as value-added. The district is also negotiating with the teachers union to include such measures in teachers' formal performance reviews, an effort the union bitterly opposes."
