Comment on $18,500 for three months’ worth of e-mails? by Patrick Sweet

Here’s a fun first step to reduce the pricetag: Remind the district that the request is for e-mails. There is no reason the district spokesperson should be thinking about this request as “thousands of pages of records” when it’s stored electronically. It’s 2012, time to embrace technology.

Comment on Want to Know Your Kids’ Teachers’ Ratings? Tennessee Doesn’t Want You to… by Charles N. Davis

I think that reasonable people can disagree here. I think that the taxpayers who fund these systems can certainly take all of the criticism of the evaluations into account, and indeed, can witness the inequities in the systems first-hand and push for reform, not only of the evals but of the system of education itself, better fully informed. Sorry — it’s just my DNA!

If you think it is a good idea to post teachers’ scores publicly, then you clearly have no idea what a great education system should look like. I think it is time you do a little more homework. These so-called “evaluation” systems are extremely subjective and rely heavily on high-stakes test scores which have been proven REPEATEDLY to be an unfair measure of a teacher’s abilities. So, posting scores that are determined based on something that is an invalid measure is a BAD IDEA!!!!

After more than twenty years as an FOI Officer for one of the largest state government agencies in NSW (Australia) and ten years as its privacy officer I often find the protection of personal information is the other side of the coin of open and accountable government. There needs to be balance between making government transparent and protecting the personal information its agencies hold from unreasonable disclosure.
