Marcher,

"witness the recent study by obama's lead labor economist who found student test scores do not correspond to teacher efficacy. instead, teachers should be rated according to their degree of professional and instructional skill. this is directly observable in practice".

I'm sure there are problems with every measurement of teachers, but you simply have to include an OBJECTIVE measurement of student success (like standard test scores) otherwise a bunch of moronic political hacks with pre-concieved notions of good or bad (or even an agenda) will be making the judgments about the skill of the teacher.

In fact it wouldn't shock me if the economist that did the study for obama is a political hack and moron with an agenda.
