One thing I will say is putting teachers jobs on the line based on standardized testing is unfair. My wife works in an inner city school and some of the kids would bomb just to get the teachers fired, others could care less, some have only been in the US for a short time. If the parents at home do not value their childrens education the kids definitely wont. They are horrible. But there are those kids that make it worthwhile as well.

I tell her and I tell everyone I don't care what kind of BS she thinks she puts
Up with. She has a great job. You work half the year your bennies are outstanding, the pay is incredible. Think about 74k average in Chicago for a job really that is at most 8 hours a day for 180 days a year. Plus a great retirement package (which may disappear someday that is a discussion for another day)
