Pressure to get better

Posting test scores by teacher.


I think that with the idea of posting test scores by teacher is an interesting idea. It's sort of "put up or shut up." However, I teach music and I don't have to prepare kids for testing.

My other thought is what are these teachers afraid of? If you think you can teach then your kids should be learning. The days are over where you can walk into the school, close your door, and teach your kids. You are expected to ensure your kids are learning. I don't know that I would  be opposed to posting scores, but again, I teach music.

The hiring process...

Whoa, baby. There is a ton of prep to do for an interview. I think that if you spend the time to prepare correctly you are going to get a good person. It could be true that if you prepare you will get a good person and if you just walk in with out thinking about who you are looking for you will find yourself getting a person who's lousy.

I wish there was a good resource for interview questions. You have your standard questions, but eh, they can get stale.
