Yet there was an equal measure of skepticism among parents that test scores have any relationship with teachers’ competence. Some said they already knew how good a teacher was by walking into the classroom or by monitoring their children’s progress. “I’m the kind of person who likes to see for themselves,” a father in Queens said. Others worried about how their fellow parents, perhaps ones with sharper elbows, might respond. Will they demand a new teacher? Move their children to a new school? Elizabeth Sane, the mother of a fourth grader at the Ella Baker School, a kindergarten-through-eighth-grade school on the Upper East Side, said that her daughter was switched to a different teacher’s class over the summer, and that it was “like adding salt to the wound” when she saw the high ratings for her daughter’s previous teacher. Her daughter’s teacher this year did not receive a rating because he previously taught high school Ms. Sane said that the rating was not the only factor that influenced how she assessed a teacher’s performance, but that the data used for teacher evaluations mattered. |
