Teaching is a hard gig, and there are many amazing hard working teachers who go out of their way to raise other people's kids.

There are also terrible ones who should be fired but can't. However, I don't understand how to fix it.

We can't trust parental feedback on teachers, because parents can be truly nuts when it comes to rating someone who daycares their kid all day.

Leaving it to the schools principal and his/her leadership team could also be extremely unfair if they are bias, and many are (or from stories I am told). If a teacher gets let go, their essentially done in their industry as their are only 3 options - Catholic, Public and Private, and with being let go on your resume, you are hooped. It's not like normal industries where you can apply at other companies.

The system is broken and this post is meaningless as I have no idea how to fix it.

Oh ya- public servant salary should be tied to the private sector. We have the highest paid in the nation - ok during boom times, not ok during bust times.
5% pay haircut to all public service employees should be enforced.... however, probably not legal with the unions. I say 5% nearly randomly without research as I assume public service salaries don't increase as much as the private sector during boom times, so they should go down a whole lot less during bust time. 5% is massively less considering the layoffs.
