@Fitz, although I understand how the article was written would give you that impression, no one has put permanently removing evaluations from the table. I think I read somewhere that Brown was even considering alternate methods that would work in its place.

Stink/Tina, what you've written is pretty much what we've heard from Teachers around the country during 2010's "who can most bash teachers" contest - where Rhee (her supporters included) and MSNBC won that round.

But the constant refrain from leaders with an interest in teachers was that they needed support and lots of it. Unfortunately, public school performance was invariably tied to its charter school counterpart. This was unfair if for no other reason than the abilities of charter schools to hold their students/parents accountable in ways that traditional public schools aren't allowed.

Believe it or not, I entertained the idea of teaching in DCPS from 2008-2010 but this last election cycle pretty much soured me on that.
