        @cnnbrk Yeah, we can't have union teachers being held to any standard of competence.

        @VictorB123 no, testing puts pressure on kids to prove their teacher is competent. That's not good for anybody.

        @SarahFlood2986 Horse crap. You can not evaluate the student's skills or teacher competence without testing.

        @VictorB123 and there are other ways to determine competence than by two extra weeks of testing at the end of the year.

        @SarahFlood2986 Same with poorly performing teachers. Need to be identified and remedied or culled.

        @VictorB123 a teacher may "perform poorly" due to disadvantaged students in a poor district.

        @SarahFlood2986 That might be true. But teachers unions go to great lengths to prevent any evaluation of teachers by objective means

        @VictorB123 that's because teacher performance is not objective. We're dealing with human beings, not robots.

        @cnnbrk that would include 95% of the required testing at this point, right? People turned out fine and we're plenty smart 20 years ago.

        @cnnbrk Conservatives immediately demand more federally-mandated testing in schools.

        @anacanapana and I'm totally for less testing. But I'm pretty sure this is the standard position of a lot of conservatives, too.

        @SarahFlood2986 I'm quite liberal and hate how schools have to teach to the test, rather than the test measuring basic skills & knowledge.
