Teachers, Watchdog Give Time Cover an 'F'

From the AFT’s petition:

The cover is particularly disappointing because the articles inside the magazine present a much more balanced view of the issue. But for millions of Americans, all they’ll see is the cover and a misleading attack on teachers.

Meanwhile, Peter Hart over at Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting (FAIR) takes issue with another aspect of Time‘s look at a group of Silicon Valley millionaires aiming to improve the public education system:

The Time piece, by Haley Sweetland Edwards, waits until the very end to tell readers that the teacher evaluation scheme central to the argument it is advancing is highly dubious…

There’s a technique that supposedly measures teacher quality, and you can sue public schools that fail to adopt it.
