Main Paineframe posted:The problem with teacher assessment isn't the standards or methodology, it's the actions taken based on the results of the assessments. The dominant forces in school reform policy right now don't want to assess teachers in order to help them improve, they want to assess teachers so that they can fire a bunch of "bad teachers". It's not too much different from how No Child Left Behind addresses failing schools by cutting their funding and then firing all the staff. As long as reform policy is centered around punishment rather than helping to improve, teachers are going to resist teacher assessment to their dying breath, because it's being pushed in order to hurt them rather than help them. Are you implying that replacing teachers with fresh-out-of-college grads won't magic fully formed good teachers into existence, comrade?

computer parts posted:No one in the US displays price after tax Ok, you're officially the hermit kingdom. When looking at a price tag I don't give a poo poo about how much of that is tax, I only want to know how big the stack of cash I need to get out of my wallet is. Put a "and $Texas of that price goes to the greedy gubmint" under the main number on the price tag if you want to live up to the special snowflake country image for the sake of it.

computer parts posted:I don't see a clear geographic trend at all, there are darker states all over and lighter states all over. Huh? VA has 5.62% and WV 6.04%, so VA is lower than WV though, yeah, both are relatively low. Both are much lower than the 19% I pay
