I don't think this is true. I think you
know they were good teachers, and you know that because of your interaction with them. You don't need the test results to tell you that.

Well I agree with you that tenure is a relative term. But I don't know if popular teachers are a good sign of good teachers. Maybe peer review. But I still think test scores are the way to go.

I was unclear. I meant peer and administrative review, not student review.
I think that evaluating a teacher takes more than just a test. And there is more to be taught than reading and math (or any other discrete subject). A precurser to that is often teaching people how to learn. And teaching people to love learning.
None of which changes the travesty that a full 50% of the students in America are below average.
