Here is a headline from my town-where a single test can lead us:
Teachers say principal threatened to kill them if TAKS test scores didn't improve Web Posted: 03/26/2008 05:19 PM CDT Roger Croteau Express-News NEW BRAUNFELS -- A middle school principal threatened to kill a group of science teachers if their students did not improve their standardized test scores, according to a complaint filed with the New Braunfels Police Department. I don't teach at this school or in this school district-but our principals let it be known that their evaluations are based solely on their TAKS scores. _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
