S: 1) That can happen in any one year, but it generally shouldnt happen year after year. V: Not at an underperforming school. S: The same can be said of just about every profession. A sales guy, a restaurant manager, a CEO, somebody on a manufacturing line, or a project manager can all do everything right and still not hit their goals. For some reason, teachers want to be sacrosanct from this fact of life. V: The difference is, IMHO, children's abilites are a variable over which the teacher has no control. Whereas, in theory, in other professions one's ability can make a difference and they don't judge you on intangibles. S: No doubt that there should be other inputs factoring into decisions on a teacher (such as parent, peer, and principle input) but the hard data should play a heavy role as well. V: Possibly the data could be used if you could correlate it the children's ability. Their reading level etc.
