I really like this article because it talks about the things that I think administration and government forget when they assess schools and learning. Yes, there needs to be test assessments and those need to be looked at. But, I agree that there is more to success than test scores. Students who have a connection to a teacher is often do better in class.
The last paragraph of this article talks about how in Tennessee five percent of a teachers evaluation is based on student feedback. I think this is a great idea as long as the gathering of student feedback is done correctly. I think student feedback is important and a lot can be learned from it. You can't please everyone, but if the majority of the class rates the teacher the same then there is something to be said for that.
