And what is your compensation? Would you say you have never seen someone in that position anywhere who is no "good" or should be trained further or removed? There are policies in place for teacher reviews, but with the cuts to education there is no time to do them. Most teachers are reviewed once or twice a year in the beginning of their career and that may be it for their remaining time. However, we are all evaluating ourselves daily, as our our students. If you are not good at this job it is very trying and exhausting to keep control over 40+ kids at any given time. Trust me teachers who are incompetent are usually out of the career by choice in five years.
That being said see my previous post I agree that more reviews are necessary and the policies exist. It is simply to time consuming in comparison to the expectations on administration currently. What this panel suggests is a "witch hunt" designed to support their new policies and use scare tactics. It will be a blow to education that will reduce new ideas, push good teachers out of the profession and limit the educational options of your children.
