Yes, the grades are up to the teacher and DON'T match STAR!
Factor in that some students do not test well, but ace assignments...what then?
Teachers teach test taking techniques and give assignments in test taking formats.
When grades don't match the tests, and the whole class is that way, it is a red flag.
I agree.
So, how do we go about getting rid of a bad teacher?
That was kind of the point of this thread before Mr Berry hijacked it with his sob stories of bad students.
If parents and GOOD educators had any recourse in dealing with failing teachers it would be as simple as getting rid of dead weight in any other field or institution.
Unfortunately, when grades don't match the tests overall, this Parental Trigger Law is the only option. It does seem like overkill but as stated earlier, at least some of the teachers in this particular case sided with the parents. Those will be the teachers who care, don't knee-jerk to blaming the kids or parents and will have no problem remaining employed, likely at the same school from which everyone was just fired.
