Student Opinion | Should Students Be Allowed to Grade Their Teachers?

The New York Times website, NYTimes.com, has a whole section devoted to students called The Learning Network. Part of it asks students to read and respond to current articles in the paper.

In this assignment, you will read the student opinion question, which contains a summary and excerpt from the article, and respond to it here in the comments section.

Today’s student opinion question deals with the Chicago teacher strikes, which have now ended, and exactly how teachers should be evaluated.

Here are the specific directions:

1. Go to the NY Times website article, “Should Students Be Allowed to Grade Their Teachers?”
2. Read the entire article, excerpt, and questions.
3. Come back to this page and scroll down to the comments box.
