Sorry, not an educator here… what is VAM?

I would hate to see D’s 10th grade teachers get much credit at all toward her PSAT scores (which are excellent). She had great SAT scores as a middle schooler through one of the academic talent searches, and I don’t know why the teacher of that one last year before they take the test should get the majority of the credit (or the blame) for scores.

Be interesting if they took EVERY teacher the kid since the start of middle school and gave them some credit if the kid did well, though. Sort of like royalties :D
