I think this work addresses most of the concerns voiced above. The hope in using "statistics" to evaluate anything is that it gives you some objective criteria to help make decisions. The point of this paper was to find out if teacher VA is one such measure. For example, does it penalize teachers who are given a troubled class or a great class? They found that it does not. Test scores are not the "end all be all" so they looked at many other adult outcomes: income, chance of going to college, quality of college, quality of the neighborhood you live in, likelihood of having a 401(k) retirement plan, likelihood of being a teen mom.
