"Senate Bill 6" Protest from John A. Ferguson HS

(Filmed and Edited by Matthew Nevarez)

Local South Florida high school, John A. Ferguson, protests Senate Bill 6 and proposes that Gov. Crist vetos the bill as soon as possible.

The bill, sponsored by state Sen. John Thrasher, the new head of Floridas Republican Party, would require that school systems evaluate and pay teachers primarily on the basis of student test scores.

What would not factor into teacher pay would be advanced degrees and professional credentials, including National Board Certification, which requires teachers to pass a competitive series of tests that is considered the gold standard for educators.

It gets worse: Experience in the classroom wouldnt matter either. And student test results would determine which teachers get targeted when layoffs are necessary.
