Unfortunately, the "philosophy of the current system" is to test all the
kids in all the schools. Take money away from the schools where the kids
test scores are below average and give it to the schools were the
students already have test scores above average.
Test 'em all again next year to see which schools have "improved".
Again, take money away from the schools where the improvement in test
scores is below average and give the money to the schools where the
improvement in test scores is been above average.
Repeat the cycle until only schools where student test scores are above
average are left.
From: "Daniel J. Matyola"
"You will have students who are motivated, which makes the job of
teaching much easier, and will tend to attract people to the
profession who are passionate about teaching."
Unfortunately, that is the philosophy of the current system: make the
job of teachers easier, and eliminate any method of measuring
performance. I am not convinced that is the was to attract people who
are passionate about teaching; it is more likely to attract those
looking for any easy and secure position.
