“Why can’t teachers be evaluated on a location-by-location basis? As a general rule, businesses don’t evaluate employees based on how their co-workers did at the other office on the other side of the country. Why can’t schools do the same?”

That would be much more sensible. There are many students who are not interested in learning and probably couldn’t even if they wanted to. Some schools have WAY more of these students than others.

Imagine your pay or job being dependent on teaching these kids.

Not to mention, we have too many graduates with psychology, sociology, women’s studies and political science degrees.

I'm not so sold concerning even science or technology. That's a big "if." I know people with undergrad degrees in biology who can't find work. Ditto chemistry.

And so much science and tech work is being outsourced to places like China and India it's making the competition pretty severe.

If my kids were still at home, still in college, I would insist they go into some aspect of medicine. MD, possibly. PA at the least. Even nursing is slanted to favor foreigners, driving out Americans.

I know something about it as my wife was a nurse who is now a PA. Even then, the trash in the white hut has destroyed much of that with his socialized medicine disaster.

Otherwise, some kind of tech certification and hard work. The white hut clown has destroyed so many aspects of the job market with his flood of third world garbage we'll never recover. Because no president is going to be able to get rid of them. We don't even know where they are, there are so many.

you and I disagree on a lot then....I don’t understand your idea that since the bureaucrats are bad and a waste of money, that the teachers must be fabulous and a bargain. They’re both underworked and over paid. It’s not mutually exclusive.

Right you are. My sister lives in rural North Carolina. Obama admin. has imported a huge number of Somalis.
There is no work for them and they are straining public services. He wants to destroy rural America—where folks are “clinging to their Bibles and their guns.”

Bullcrap. In 2005 a third section was added, also worth 800 points. Thirty years ago the max was 1600 and remained that way until 2005.
********************
OK , so I was off by a few years ... the bottom line was they added an entire new section to pump up the failing scores.
