As a teacher (who did get out to raise/teach my own kids a while), I love you, Dude wink

Tenured mediocre teachers are a problem (oh, the whining I've listened to!) but there are admins going to the extreme with data that's incomplete (and I love data). There are highly effective teachers like my dad who do amazing stuff and whose kids (from the ghetto) ace the tests, but his admins nix class pets and all field trips for more test prep. Education is complex but data and masterful teaching can find each other I feel. I have hope for a rational and effective middle course winning out.
