- @smapplegate Standardized tests are tied to the curriculum standards being tested. So they are objective. The issue isn't the test… in reply to smapplegate #

- @smapplegate they are objective. If your issue is with the concept of academic standards, then please state that honestly. Otherwise, you're #
- @smapplegate not coming off well. Tests objectively assess what they are supposed to test. Other forms of assessment (portfolios, teacher… #
- @smapplegate grades) do not because they aren't designed to be aligned with the standards. Again, your objection is with standards, not #
- @smapplegate tests (or it seems that way). If you don't believe in standards (or in measuring performance), please say so. #
- @smapplegate By the way: I don't think standards are inherently political. You need to learn to read, write, do math #edreform #

- @alexanderrusso Well, Alexander, newspapers publish names and salaries of government employees all the time. Why not publish teacher VAA? in reply to alexanderrusso #
- @alexanderrusso in any case, LAT published names of folks they interviewed and their VAA, not a full list. So, again, what's your issue? in reply to alexanderrusso #
- @jtLOL it's 70% of a poll based on a small sample. It represents that small sample. In any case, American history has shown that a majority in reply to jtLOL #

- @alexanderrusso it is not the same thing, Alexander, try using some thought on this. One can easily argue that salary is a personnel matter in reply to alexanderrusso #
- @alexanderrusso as well. In fact, I used to argue the same. But a major argument against VAA-based teacher evals is the lack of transparency in reply to alexanderrusso #
- @alexanderrusso Well, here is the transparency. And in the case of the LAT, they didn't even publish every name. Only teachers who supply in reply to alexanderrusso #
- @alexanderrusso their info can access the analysis the paper is conducting. So, this isn't exactly a personnel matter. If salaries can be in reply to alexanderrusso #
- @alexanderrusso public, why not the VAA data? Besides, if we want true parental engagement, they need data on teacher performance. in reply to alexanderrusso #
- @alexanderrusso This doesn't mean I necessarily support doing this. I am steadily ambivalent on how this data should be released for many in reply to alexanderrusso #
- @alexanderrusso reasons. But I do think parents should be able to access it. And I think teachers who are doing great work should be proud in reply to alexanderrusso #
- @alexanderrusso to let people know it. Whether it should be released to all? Very mixed about that. in reply to alexanderrusso #
