52. Teachers are constantly assessed by many means.
Always have been. Yearly written assessments, taking into consideration parent notes and complaints. Semi-annual assessments often also. Monthly observations by administrative personnel while the teacher is teaching.

I could go on.

Few assess the ones doing the assessing.

You can not determine a good teacher by just one man-made test, made in secret by a private company...a test no one is ever allowed to see until it is administered.

A test that can be scored in secret. Parents must hire a lawyer if they question the validity of their child's test scores.
