Not often I get to say that a politician has it right, but Coumo certainly got this one right, we shouldn't hold teachers to a different standard than other public employees, we should demand that all public employees have regular evaluations, and that those evaluations be released to the public.

Dont hold teachers to a much different standard than other public employees like cops and firefighters, Gov. Cuomo argued Thursday. Some people say disclose everything because (teachers are) public employees, Cuomo said on Albany radio.
One of those people is Mayor Bloomberg who wants the controversial teacher evaluations revealed for all to see.
To those people I say, really? Disclose all the evaluations for public employees? added Cuomo. Then how come youre only singling out teachers? Wheres the policemens evaluation? Wheres the firemens evaluation? Where's the evaluation of the mayors staff, and the governors staff and the [Assembly\] speakers staff?
Fans of releasing the teacher evaluations publicly argue there is a difference between educators overseeing kids and other public workers.
