Buy this car. I'm serious. Come on. This car has been around a long time. It has proven its worth. It deserves to be on the road and anyway, the rules are that you can't buy another car until this one is purchased.
I wouldn't buy the car in the photo. I don't have the time and money to make it queen of the road, and I don't need test results to know that. Unfortunately, because we can't seem to design a better system of teacher evaluations than seniority, this "you have to take it" policy is what many buildings face when they have a position to fill.
The system is faulty, and districts and their communities are trying to fix it by placing more weight on student test scores. We don't need test scores to identify ineffective teachers, we just need to make it easy for administrators to evaluate their staff. I think it can be easy, and measurable, because you can kick a teacher's tires, so to speak.
