Dear Chris
Great work - you might want to add why is it when the teachers come up for review how they ARE NOT graded on well their students are doing.
As someone pointed out what would happen to a swimming instructor whose students failed their final exam by not swimming across the pool and drowned?
Based on teacher union regulations nothing would happen to the instructor but they would get tenure after the required number of years passed. Tough about those students who failed the final exam.
Enact new school regulations - if the students fail - fail the teacher.
