I was more surprised that empirical, measurable accountability had appeared to have been implemented at all.
You wouldn't think 20% of their evaluation based on student performance would scare them so much, but clearly linking educated students to educator compensation is an atrocity of some sort.
Given the deep and broad safety net failing teachers are provided with (training, counseling, mentors, administrative reassignment, etc.) it's remarkable the magnitude of resistance teachers unions continue to put up against reform that can improve the quality of teaching and achievement of student.
This doesn't surprise me very much.
