According to the new evaluation system in Michigan, teachers are on a point by point system that determines whether can/will be determined to be "highly effective".

So,at an elementary school IF a teacher does not directly point at the "highly motivational" saying that is posted on the wall in every classroom, including Kindergarten, and state that saying out loud to the students at the time an administrator comes into the classroom--they lose a point.

IF they are behind their desk at the time an administrator comes into the classroom--they lose a point.

IF they take more than 3 sick days--the state allotment--they lose a point.

Get the picture? All that is going to happen in Michigan is that valuable teachers will quit. That's it. NOTHING the Michigan state legislature has put into law is intended to help kids learn.
