Now in a memo to school districts across Florida, state education officials want to learn how students scored and link that to the teachers who taught them. Education officials say they don't want to punish teachersn but are collecting test information so local school districts can hold teachers accountable.
Some students say it's unfair to hold teachers responsible for student scores.
The controversial memo outlines the difficulty in defining and identifying which teachers are responsible for a student's score. It leaves that matter for school districts to decide. The state says they will use any teacher-student score information to track general statewide education trends in Florida.
