If all your kids get bad grades, do they ever check to see if the teacher is maybe not a good fit? Do principals audit classes for performance reviews? It seems not.
There’s lots of union jobs where you only get negotiated raises, so I’m not sure that’s an indicator of anything.

This is nonsense. It is very difficult to fire a teacher but they don’t get gifted a set of keys and a pension. Lol
There is a teacher quality standard and a leadership quality standard which lay out teacher and principal expectations. Each year, professionals write a professional growth plan which ties into areas of the standards in which they want to improve. Teachers submit the plans to the principals and it is reviewed over the course of the school year. Principals submit their growth plan to their superintendents and have reviews with the boss. On top of these expectations, there is the code of conduct.
