Nah, whatever man. Sucks if it's just a blanket firing, but then again there's a fair chance all the teachers really are completely ineffective and all need to go. Besides, if people start praising any of those teachers they stand out even more for other schools to hire. Maybe... shrug

it's a shame you can't fire the parents - as that is easily where the blame should reside...
... learning starts in the classroom - but doesn't understanding come from practice (aka - homework... studying... ... things parents are responsible and expected to 'administrate' so-to-speak)

it's your job to teach and make sure kids get an education and don't. If 80% of your class fails and is below an average level, YOU are the problem, and yes, you have to work extra.
If any of us say I know the client expects this presentation tomorrow and that we can lose the account, but I wont work extra hours and leave, we will be on the same boat...

yes and schools get plenty of chances to improve test scores so it is not like this was done from one day to the next : the district will give parents a choice to pick a school if a school fails to meet test score standards , and in all likely most of those teachers will get approved transfers
the real question is what next, now you fired everyone who do you bring in

this is a high school - most of these kids are close to being adults and they can't get their shit together? These teachers are so underpaid, work a full day, and are expected to spend MORE time?
The point is that grades don't lie, it's not like a teacher "gave" a kid a grade, that child "earned" that grade - just another example of a generation passing the blame, so when 80% of those kids end up unemployed and can't find a job who should we blame, the employers?

its kind of the reverse in terms of policing young poor people but equally redundant. They get less teachers and more cops. Neither solves the real issues they're struggling through. I think the school boards and government social programs need to get funded properly rather than dealing with it the way beurocrats like to deal with things... cuts and cops.
