While you do make a good point, you also have to realize that it ISN'T really that fair to tie teacher evaluation to standardized test scores. There are a lot of really good teachers out there bent out of shape about the new evaluation models too. Everyone is kind of upset but most districts wouldn't go on strike about it. However if the enforcers of the new models aren't listening to teacher concerns, I guess they felt it was their option.

You also gotta realize that they're most likely going to have to make up those missed days anyways at the end of the year... kids, by law, have to go to school 180 days. So they essentially just took a little fall break.
Blah, too big an argument for IndyDDR. Would you agree that keeping bad teachers on payroll is bad for education as a whole?

Yes, they just have to be careful on how they determine "bad teachers" is all.

The video description might be the best part.

"the teacher story happens in Romania and she deserved really more like a beating not a slap! the bitch was beating little students like in communist times! i mean if one kid didn't knew how to solve a problem he got hit and insulted by this fucking cunt.also this bitch is not romanian ethnic ,she is gypsy."

The number of "bitch deserved a smack" comments is staggering.

Indiana fucking sucks sometime.

"Even when life beings in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen."

So there you go. Rape is the lords work, and God knows what's best for a woman's body. Men, go take what you want. You are a soldier of the lord.

Edit:
Romney distanced himself from Mourdock on Tuesday night — a day after a television ad featuring the former Massachusetts governor supporting the GOP Senate candidate began airing in Indiana.

Flippy floopy floo.

You know what creates life? A male and a female banging. Same is true for rats, dogs, and bats.

Stuff like that makes me want to reconsider med school and just start lobbying for science literacy.

Can't fucking wait for election season to be over so we can all stop pretending like we actually care about politics and go back to talking about what we had for dinner and the latest pop culture craze. If you are not voting for both on-line poker and marijuana to be legalized then for the love of God what ARE you voting for? Nothing should be more important to you than those two things. These are your natural, inalienable rights that the United States government has taken away to satisfy the evil corporate lobbyists that run this country.

This happens every year with voters for any party, but it's still pretty fun to call people on their bullshit.

Yeah that site is pretty funny, been on there before. I have strange poops oftentimes so I go there and cross-analyze my results with other poop reporters to make sure my poops are not out of the ordinary!
