I would like to see a ranking system of some sort, that is easily decipherable for the common folk. It could be used by us unsophisticated voters as a way of viewing the job performance of representatives. Much better than the current climate where resources are spent trying to motivate voters to rally behind a particular team. Setting the criteria is tricky. We've tried to do that in education for years, without a lot of success. In education, if you use the scores on tests, then the Calculus teacher will get merit pay while the special ed teacher will be fired, when the quality of work done by each might merit just the opposite. Every other competitive performance measure has similar quirks. We don't have a problem establishing a standard however... show up on time, have decent lesson plans, account for grades, manage your classroom etc. Beyond that, we set individual growth goals for each teacher. Many of us would view the ethics criteria from a zero tolerance perspective, if we had a fair and reliable measure and an accountable reporting system.
