[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 87813, member: 1967"] Oh, but Loth, that opens a whole new can of worms. Who is going to have the higher scores? The teacher with all gifted classes or the teacher with all remedial classes? I guarantee it will be the gifted teacher but I also guarantee that the teacher of the remedial classes will have worked just as hard if not harder. in my humble opinion, I think that is why merit pay for teachers is a bad idea. Everyone will fight to teach the high achieving students and no one will want to teach the low achieving students (often known as difficult children on our board). I think that tiredmommy is on the right track. Word of mouth and personal experience is the best judge of whether a teacher will be the right fit for a child in elementary school. I do think, though, that there comes a point where the child needs to learn to deal with all kinds of teachers just like they will have to deal with all kinds of people in the real world (bosses included). by the way, I checked the site a long time ago and nothing was posted about me. I didn't know whether to feel happy or sad. I don't think most of our students are even aware of the site. I just tried it again and found that it was blocked here at school. I have to thank the posters that responded that this kind of thing was really not a good idea. I honestly thought that this was just going to turn into another teacher bashing thread. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
