These days, you can find out what parents think about your teacher, what campaigns your teacher gives to, whether or not he or she’s “highly qualified” under NCLB, and -- for the places that have performance pay programs in place -- who’s getting a performance bonus.

But what will parents do with that knowledge?” (Via EdNews.org) The day after the teacher info came out in Houston, according to the article, the site got 400,000 hits. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
