While I'm not necessarily on board with the candidate's proposal, I must add that there's few things I find more infuriating than the idea that teaching is a magical sacred profession and that any attempt to objectively measure teacher performance is an exercise in futility and a scurrilous attack on educators.
I'm not opposed to teacher assessment, I'm opposed to teacher assessment based on a single arbitrary assessment, I'm opposed to removal of union rights and I'm opposed to sending teachers back to school.
And everyone loves to knock teacher, you're more than welcome to join the profession
That's not a good argument.
