So what IS a fair evaluation system for teachers?

12. So you want to know how to get rid of teachers?

Are you asking for an evaluation system based on your assumption that we need to get rid of bad teachers?

If you had phrased your question in a more positive tone, I'd be glad to answer it. But no, I don't think we need to find a way to evaluate any employees in any line of work with the idea that we need a tool to help get rid of them.

My thoughts are that teachers need to be rewarded. They need to be inspired. They need to be thanked for the hard work they do. Paid well. Given the resources they need - on the first day of class (still waiting for that after more than 30 years). In modern, up to date air conditioned facilities with class sizes that allow real teaching and learning to take place. We need to hold the administrators accountable for equipping our schools with the resources and class groupings necessary to ensure good teaching CAN take place.

That's the only kind of evaluation I'm interested in discussing now.
