Mississippi House passes bill requiring teachers to grade parents - UTSAMarineVet09 - 03-10-2016 12:42 PM
Quote:If a bill passed by the Mississippi House becomes law, students won’t be the only ones receiving grades from teachers.
Under House Bill 4, also known as the Parent Involvement and Accountability Act, teachers would be required to grade parents’ involvement with their children’s education.
The legislation, by state Rep. Gregory Holloway (D-Hazlehurst), would mandate a section be added to each child’s report card on which the parents are graded on their responsiveness to communication with teachers, the students’ completion of homework and readiness for tests, and the frequency of absences and tardiness.

Interesting concept. There is NO doubt that parental involvement is crucial to a child getting a good education. It may well be the most important actually.
Im not sure how this is going to be accepted..but..if it gets a few parents off the couch and get them motivated in their childrens education...then it is a win.

shite....the place I call missippy and the 'sip....I just don't know why....
while I understand the premise, I live here....
therefore, I say it's beyond stupid for the stupid to attempt to take care of the puppies.....
it's amazingly ironic how red this state 'thinks' at that level of politics....
at some point it comes a tumbling.....all my arse needs are a handful more years of earnings......
my prose is real fk'n world shite.....not sum dim sum fag crapola solution that is meaningless....
edit: gonna give you sums incite....the dnc contacted a former shop floor worker that was pretty and dumb as a rock to run for a local seat....he thought roses....he is now privately employed.....
it's funny how shite works itself out....
people need to fail and learn the basics....it's those meek that will have a chance....

At least it will make slack parents aware that they are slack parents. Not sure what good it will do beyond that. More of a shaming tool than anything else.

I'm okay with this. Now we need to let the students and parents grade the teachers as well.

In many cases, the word parents doesn't fit. The word parent fits.

Alabama is going the opposite direction. We just passed a bill where teachers are going to are graded by parents which is about the most idiotically stupid thing imaginable.
I'm glad to see some accountability finally being placed where it ought to be, parents and kids.

The situation is so bad right now and apathy so rife that if you were to jump back to an old school sink-or-swim system you would see graduation rates collapse and the education system crack under the weight of hundreds of thousands of totally ignorant 15 year olds in 2nd grade.
It brings up the issue of how do you grade teachers? You can't exactly fairly assess teacher when you can't admit to the fact that upwards of 40% of 7th graders don't read at grade level.

Do Parents have access to "their" grades? LOL. I hope a pissed off Parent does not shoot up a school.

I think both sides should be able to grade the other.

I don't disagree with the sentiment....
however, when the wage paid is now relevant to the guy in the jumpsuit on the back of the truck....garbage in, garbage out......
this ain't lifo, fifo.....it's real world life-0
it's the 'why' of the the flight......
butterflies....they don't come around much anymore....do they?

It might be rough at first, but just as you can blame the kids and their parents for not caring you have to also pass the blame to "educators" who are more worried about if Johnny knows all about gays than if Johnny can read. Perhaps our public education system wouldn't be in the crapper if they were actually educating instead of implementing a leftist social engineering policy.

The administrators and run of the mill teachers are at odds with one another.
These new programs will simply drive the precious few competent educators we have out of the system.
You cannot give a teacher children that are 5 grades behind and then punish them for not turning them into capable students. It's made only worse when you will punish them for not bending to every whim of the totally uncaring parents who simply want Jamal to move on.

Part of the teacher evaluation in NC this year will be based on students grading their teachers. Parents have completed school evaluations for several years now. And of course there aren't any real consequences for students when it comes to test scores. The scores are used to grade specific teachers and the schools as well. So parents and students do grade teachers in several ways.

The best measures for teacher effectiveness are found by measuring growth. If a child is reading at a 3rd grade level in the 6th grade he isn't going to suddenly be reading at a 7th grade level in June. But if that child has gained a year and a half in his reading level then those teachers and that student have done an amazing job. Unfortunately, more often the teachers, that school and that student are viewed as failures because that child at the end of the 6th grade is reading below grade level.
RE: Mississippi House passes bill requiring teachers to grade parents - Crebman - 03-10-2016 07:07 PM
Any testing system that doesn't incorporate IQ into the equation of measuring success or failure is no more than a useless political ploy to "pretend they are doing something".........and insuring "accountability ".
Effin joke is what it is.
