Teachers are being asked to answer as never before for how well they serve their students. It has become as common in middle schools for

28、 students to grade teachers as for teachers to grade students. In fact student ratings（评价）have become the most widely used and in many cases the only important information on teaching effectiveness. In comparing three studies of the same 600 middle and high schools in more than thirty states, it was

29、 found that the number of schools using student ratings to evaluate teachers had climbed from 29 percent to 68 percent to 86 percent. No other method of evaluation got that degree of usage and other studies have found similar results. One reason is that student evaluations are easy to put to wrong u

34、student ratings are very popular and should be properly used57In Paragraph 2，the underlined expression “throw meaningful light on teachers performance” means _Ajudging teachers teaching ability and understanding of the courseBmaking teachers performance clear and understood to allChaving a mean opin
