O, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive! – Sir Walter Scott - Wait, What?: "How ConnCAN makes that claim reveals much about their level of honesty.
Here is how the question reads.
“Neither of these statements might match your opinion exactly but which one statement comes closer to your point of view?
The survey then has two options;
Option #1: “It doesn’t make sense to award teachers tenure, promotions, and make other staffing decisions unless they have a proven track record of effectively increasing student growth.
Option #2: The length of time in the classroom is the most important factor in teacher development, therefore awarding tenure, promotions, and making other staffing decisions based solely on the length of time teaching is most fair.
Survey respondents are asked to choose between the two – which means the answer is a comparison of support of one approach COMPARED to the other and one answer cannot be reported without putting the question in context – which ConnCAN’s report does not do."

It is also important to note that two TEA teachers reported back in December that they received a phone call and took this survey. One teacher told the pollster that there was no way to answer their questions in a way that reflected his actual opinion. Another teacher said they called her back to verify her answers and got every single response wrong.
