@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. - 2 more replies

@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. - 1 more reply

@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. -
@anacanapana yes. This. Just had a long chat and this is what I was driving at.
