Teachers' evaluations on steroids. [View all]

Now I think I've heard everything.

In an affluent suburb in northern New Jersey, an assistant superintendent has a new mandate for non-tenured teachers. These teachers need to record (write down) every interaction with a student(s) for the entire school day and what the results were. Example: You have to record that you asked a general question to the class (the question verbatim) and asked for the answer. You call on a student and have to specifically name that student, what s/he said,what you responded, what other students said, and so on. And you have to stop teaching in order to write this all down and hand it in at the end of the school day. A virtual diary.

BTW, the assistant superintendent of schools used to be a math teacher, only understands numbers, not people.
