State's teachers not always to blame for test scores : Opinion : Ventura County Star:
"Removing the charter school cap and increasing parental options could be steps toward improving the system, whose failures (and examples of success) are cataloged in a new report by Oakland-based Education Trust-West. But using test data to judge teachers’ performance could evolve into simplistic finger pointing unless it’s done fairly and contextually.
Testing data seemingly introduce dispassionate objectivity into the evaluation process. Each kid’s abilities are as individual as fingerprints, however. Learning is also affected by many other factors, most of which are beyond the control of the teacher, such as cultural influences, parental involvement, taxpayer financing, administrative support and availability of textbooks."
