Welcome back John...Re teachers sorting themselves out...

Since we've had teachers in the family, that genuinely tried to deal with the unions and the administration on various issues, the only I can see this would work, is if the teachers THEMSELVES start listing how they would test, or police themselves so that they could agree on the standards they would use to "weed the weak ones out".....

The excuses our family teachers heard were many...including:
-- Can't be done. We have to teach everyone of every IQ in each classroom.
--Ditto above, except subsitute every language, physical and mental ability, family situation, family income, and so on....
--Can't do tests because of the above.

If, however, you back off that position and start to look at ways to evaluate teachers such that the genuinely weak ones are let go, there is much room for work.
