On Do you support a state law that allows teacher compensation to be tied to student testing?

I just picked up my son's math textbook yesterday (which his teacher kindly walked me through, as the subject's a challenge for him) and the first 43 pages of this text is devoted to preparing for the WKCE! Ridiculous. I want him to learn math concepts, not spend his time studying for a multiple choice test. Seeing that he doesn't perform great on bubble tests (although he gets As and Bs on his classroom tests), I wouldn't want his teachers evaluated on the meaningless state test. You'll never convince me it paints an accurate picture of what my son really knows.
