One of the biggest teachers strikes in the history of our country and what was one of the biggest stumbling blocks to negotiations besides more money? Evaluation.
Who out there in the world of work does not have their continued employment hinge upon job performance?
You guessed right if you said : TEACHERS.
In recently reviewing PSSA test scores for schools in our area of Western Pa. I was once again saddened to see the math scores so abysmally low. I have administered these tests at all grade levels.
Bet you parents didn't know that- teachers cant even show up for work to proctor the students they teach for the all important state evaluation tests- the task is put to substitutes.
SUBS, imagine that.
I have read these tests I have taken these tests, I have held practice sessions for these tests.
I have also been reprimanded for trying to teach the skills.
Don't I know I'm "just a sub"
THESE TESTS ARE NOT HARD THEY GIVE PLENTY OF TIME If all eslse fails you have enough time to plug every answer back into the question if you want.
I just don't get it, the students are drilled prior to the test and coached and yet they still do not answer correctly.
Where else can you look except the failure of the teacher to get the material across to the students involved. They can't teach and that is the truth of it and the ones who are incompetent need to find other work. We as taxpayers funding these exorbitantly salaried pampered so called teachers should be furious. I know I am.
Get off your lazy asses and make a change if you want your kids to get good jobs and succeed in life.
