    It would be interesting to ask the children, "Who made the difference in your life?" "Which teachers got you to learn, and to enjoy learning?... and which ones discouraged you from learning?" Teachers who make the grade should be encouraged. Those who are ineffective should be dropped.

    Do you honestly think that student assessments are the most valid way to weed out 'ineffective' teachers from 'effective' teachers? As students reach adolescents, they will probably be more likely to rate teachers with low standards or give little to no homework high and those who challenge them low.
