"If you want to know which schools will do well on the FCAT, you don't have to consider the teachers at all. You just need to look at the school's ZIP code.
The idea that there's a direct relationship between the value of the teacher and the test scores of his or her students ignores the obvious: That what goes on in the students' lives outside the classroom is the biggest determinant of FCAT success."
