8 Reasons Not to Tie Teacher Pay to Standardized Tests

Gordon MacInnes has a paper out on 8 reasons against tying teacher compensation to students test scores. Please read and distribute as needed. :)

As much as we like change in the White House and a possible change in educational policy, the direction this administration is taking is dangerous. Let's turn education into the business model that we've recently seen fail on a catastrophic level. Maybe in about 5-10 years, we'll get a massive government bail-out and have to surrender our bonuses like AIG executives.

Doesn't history repeat itself in the strangest of ways?
