This thread is a train wreck on so many levels you just can't look away.
But I do enjoy some of the education "experts" declaiming their beliefs. I wish I could do that with engineers, tell them that although they have years of training and experience they don't know what they're doing. But that guy over there with a 40 oz. in a paper bag knows what to do.

Sorry, can't bump your rep. on this. Got to "spread it around".
Good post. Qualifications for education expertise generally translates into "I remember when I attended school".
Reminds you also of the most damning thing a teacher could do. That's having an alcoholic beverage while eating dinner at the local supper club. The tongues wag all over town as it's reported by the guy whose blasted sitting at the end of the bar who happens to have kids in school and complains about the bad example the teacher is making.
Conservatives should be allowed NO WHERE NEAR a class room. The notion of them spreading their narrow minded filth to a new generation is a true tragedy. We do not need youngsters to adopt ideologically poisonous views on race, class, gender or immigration.
Wow, that's not very tolerant of you. I thought liberals were open-minded.
My school had a new administrator the first year we implemented my class for expelled students. She was afraid of my kids so she rarely came to my room. We had my evaluation meeting anyway, where she asked me to clarify my schedule. I told her we spent an hour on reading, another on math, switched between history and science, etc. Her response,
"Oh, you actually teach them academics?" This was MAY and she had no idea what went on in my class, outside of the frequent drug busts and violent outbursts. How does that work in a merit pay system???
It doesn't. People on the outside don't get that our evaluations are based on snap shots and snap shots are rarely accurate. I liked my old school. Since I liked to teach with my door open, the principal would just stand outside and listen on a regular basis. I felt her assessments were fair and her suggestions for improvement were things I really did need.

Which is exactly why teachers who are motivated, will go for National Board Certification.
Go ahead, rate the ONLY National Board Certified teacher in this school as "Unsatisfactory". Not gonna happen. National Board Certification is worth it, on so many levels.

what do I gain from becoming Nationally certified is the question I always ask.
