I get where you're saying, but the kids we're using as the "problem" are a niche. Maybe there are quite a few in your school (or El Paso), but that's not a massive, overwhelming issue - so why do teachers, on a massive, overwhelming level, hate the program? There's a disconnect between the anger and the rationale, and I find it very interesting.

I'm not a teacher, but I'll hazard a guess that the teachers feel threatened that they are being assessed on the children's performances on one test when, no matter how good a teacher they may be, there are many other factors that determine how successful a child is on said test, including all the other teachers that have ever taught that child! Should an 8th grade math teacher be judged on how their students do on this test when, in reality, the child has been behind in their math skills since 1st grade?
