[QUOTE="5BrothersFabrication, post: 521812, member: 2617"] Cruz has been in DC long enough to scare me. All our politicians are bought and paid for after a freshman term. I don't have a problem with upping the standards. What I do have a problem with is now the teachers are leaving out important things that will not be on the test, and only teaching TO the test. That, and the evaluation system. There are certain things that the evaluator wants to see, things like rigor, questioning, timing, pace, proof of written understanding, etc. Some of these things are almost impossible to demonstrate in a welding class at the end off a semester. By the last 2 months, we aren't even in the book anymore. That's where I got a bad evaluation and was not re-signed for the next year. Sure, evaluate the English, math, science, and social studies that way, but the vocational classes should be treated differently. I don't mind being evaluated, but I believe my main purpose is to teach common sense, critical thinking, job skills, and give these boys (and some girls) a reason to show up to school and out of the principal's office. I could give you at least 25 names of kids that graduated only because [b][i][u]I[/u][/i][/b] made them. But I also believe that the federal government's only jobs are to deliver my mail (debatable) and defend our country. NOTHING ELSE. [/QUOTE]
