Re: [Phys-l] WHY VALUE ADDED TESTING IS A BUST WAS: Re: [PTSOS] Teachers' Test scores to be made public



John C. wrote in part:

But SETS, student evaltions of teachers, are also snake oil, because
they do
not correlate well with what the students actually learned, and they go
down
for IE classes where we achieve higher gain. Indeed SETS correlate
better
with grades and good looking teachers,

so if you want good student
evaluations give all As.

And Pick good-looking parents
