is to evaluate the learning opportunities offered, and the student/teacher/parent interactions.

No test scores at all, since those are the product of many factors teachers don't affect, and aren't necessarily reliable, anyway.

Probably not science-y enough.

Not that my plan would ever make it out the door, lol.
