KIDS SET TO FIREBOMB TEACHERS IN TENNESSEE
 "Obviously no one understands high school kids and how they think. Next year Tennessee will base 50% of its evaluation, merit pay, promotion and retention on these state tests. A teacher found out from his son who is in a local high school that the kids have already circulated a list of teachers who they will be "fire bombing" by deliberately messing up their tests in hopes of getting the teachers fired. The kids have found out it doesn't effect their grades so they have formed these "Fire Bomb Lists" to deliberately screw up the tests with the wrong answers to get the teachers fired. Any teacher who puts a lot of pressure on them will go on the list, no doubt. My guess is you are going to have a LOT of sweet-talking teachers this year!"

2. I don't see this tactic as succeeding.

1. Any teacher at risk of being fired would argue the test scores against the aggregate grades of the students. How do you explain a student with a "B" or "C" average also "failing" a standardized test? I'm sure the teachers will either retain tests or make copies of them to show the grades were earned and not elevated. As for failing students also failing standardized tests, they aren't in a position to blame the teacher as a primary reason for their status.

2. Any student proved to have spiked their test for the purpose of getting a teacher fired may face civil liability for malicious interference with the teacher's employment contract. There are consequences for actions.

Ummm, not really.

A teacher who doesn't know the difference between a noun and a verb should be fired, as should anyone who uses "primary" as a verb.
