I guess it depends on who you ask...
It probably depends on the district/state the teacher is in. A poor performing school that could only go up has probably seen improvement due to state testing. On the other hand, a traditionally overachieving school that is now forced to "teach to the test" instead of its proven curriculum, probably won't feel as warm to it.
