Governor Bush is right -- change is needed, improvements are needed -- but not everything being proposed by the mainstream reform movement right now is an improvement, or is ready for implementation. Teacher appraisal is a prime example. I am not defending the current seniority based system; hardly anyone is. But the direct tying of student test scores into teacher appraisals means not, as Governor Bush writes, that people are being judged based on their own performance; it means that they are being judged based on someone else's (the students') performances. Appraise me, in this regard, based on my contribution to the student's learning, which you cannot reliably do based on making false inferences from a spreadsheet.
