Diane Ravitch argues against using student test scores to decide if an individual teacher is effective. She reports that Sean Corcoran, an economist at New York University, found that that the average \u201cmargin of error\u201d of a New York City teacher was plus or minus 28 points.<\/p>\n

Example 2: Plagiarize the original text by paraphrasing its structure too closely, without copying it word-for-word<\/p>\n
The evidence of Corcoran says that there is an average \u201cmargin of error\u201d of plus or minus 28 points, making it unpredictable to judge a teacher from year to year because between each year these value-added scores may change, causing these results to be instable. These flaws make it challenging to trust the results of the student test scores.<\/p>\n

Example 3: Plagiarize the original text by paraphrasing its structure too closely, and include citation<\/p>\n
Diane Ravitch uses the evidence of economist Sean Corcoran to prove that the \u201cmargin of error\u201d between teachers to too large and that the scores fluctuate between years. As a consequence, this makes the value-added scores to be hard to trust.<\/p>\n
