This editorial is about teacher evaluations. President Obama plans to rework the No Child Left Behind Act to create a better system to evaluate teachers. This is supposed to help schools focus more on educating students. Evaluations are supposed to consist one or two classroom visits to teachers. However, in some conventional schools, tenured teachers are only evaluated once every three or four years. I believe that every teacher should be evaluated once every year, too make sure that the students are doing well and if the teacher is teaching the right curriculum. Education is very important so teachers need to be evaluated because of that importance. Administrators such as principals and superintendents need to make sure that each teacher is doing well so that the students are doing their best.
