With the whole "standardized test" movement being so controversial, and having gone through some good and bad teachers myself...I am wondering. As an educator...who do you think should have the final say on hiring and firing teachers?
Where should the authority rest? What standards should be met? How "objective" should they be? Where should they come from?
Personally I'm a fan of giving final say to the principle. I see that position as the boss. And their job is to hire and fire employees and make them tow the line. As such...it is their job to determine standards. And it should be the job of the administration above the principle to determine if the school is heading in the correct direction and adjust accordingly.
