Highly 'Fective (Applying The Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction" to the New Danielson-Based Evaluation System)

Given the release of our teacher evaluation scores last week, I thought I would re-post this piece written last January.  With the incorporation of MOSL scores, the formula seemed to make it nearly impossible for even teachers with some very high MOTP points to obtain an overall rating of "Highly Effective."  

Highly 'Fective (Based on The Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction")

I can't get no Highly 'Fective
I can't get no Highly 'Fective
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no

When I'm writhin' in my desk
And that man comes on the P.D. day
He's tellin' me more and more
About Danielson's twenty-two domains
Supposed to trigger in me ungodly pain

I can't get no, oh no, no, no
Hey, hey, hey, that's what I say

I can't get no Highly 'Fective
I can't get no Highly 'Fective
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no

When I'm preppin' for exams
And a man comes in and tells me
How hard the tests can be
But he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't teach
To the same darn tests as me

I can't get no, oh no, no, no
A hey, hey, hey, that's what I say

I can't get no Highly 'Fective
I can't teach no good elective
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no

When I'm walkin' round the school
And I'm doin' this and I'm grading that
And I'm tryin' to aid some kid
Who tells me, Teacha, better not come back for awhile
'Cause my homework ain't in that pile

I can't get no, oh no, no, no
A hey, hey, hey, that's what I say

I can't get no, I can't get no
I can't get no Highly 'Fective, no Highly 'Fective
No Highly 'Fective, no Highly 'Fective
I can't get no
