Now, teacher's need to be evaluated in some way, and the terrible ones should be removed somehow. But getting admin to do it isn't necessarily the best way.

That's the old "only engineers are qualified to manage engineers" viewpoint. I find the best managers are actually not subject matter experts in the field of which their employees are. You don't need to be an expert to manage experts.
