241 teachers were not fired over low test scores. 76 were fired for not having proper credentials. 165 were fired for poor performance which takes into account factors in addition to test scores such as classroom evaluations.
- nitrogen 16y agoI would hope that the 76 who didn't have proper credentials were at least evaluated on performance before their dismissal. If any of those 76 were actually excellent teachers, firing them on credentials alone without offering the opportunity to earn their credentials while working is a tragic loss, and smells of union-inspired member protection. Disclaimer: both of my parents are teachers.
