Future teachers of Texas watch out

On a post titled, “The Evaluation of Evaluations” written by one of my classmates, Jake Gossman. He talks about a bill the senate passed that will have public school teachers evaluated on their performance. The bill states that after a teacher is evaluated they may be fired immediately and with no reason given. Mr. Gossman feels that this may lead to a lot of future lawsuits. A problem that Mr. Gossman found with the bill is what is going to be the “measure” for performance. He is not in favor of this bill passing at all.
I think that I would like the bill to be passed due to fact that it would improve the way our teachers teach and present information for their students to learn.  I think that a lot of teachers today take it very easy with their students when teaching their material. I have a friend who will soon get her degree in teaching and she actually cares about her the work she turns into to her own teachers and I know she will be a great teacher.  A lot of people getting their degrees in teaching don’t care enough about teaching children material they will actually learn and like what they have learned. They just teach to get paid. Mr. Gossman may be right in that a lot of lawsuits may come out of this but at least new teachers know what to expect and will give 100% on all material they teach their students. I think senator Shapiro is doing a good thing by trying to get this bill passed.
