Remember that letter signed by school administrators around NYS, criticizing the decision to proceed with effectiveness ratings based on VAM?Here is a letter signed by education researchers and professors at multiple Ga institutions, arguing against the Teacher Keys implementation scheduled for this fall. It has been published in the Washington Post and at EmpowerED Georgia. Apparently, no media in the state is interested so far:

When will local media pick it up?
