Judging teachers by test scores is wrong : Opinion : Ventura County Star:
"Children are the sum of their experiences and teachers are only a small part of the equation. Children arrive at school with various life experiences that hamper and hinder, or enhance their ability to learn. Teachers do not control these factors and, therefore, should not be penalized or rewarded because of them."
