but how to we figure out good teachers from the
bad ones

Who cares. Pay them the same way lots of other workers get paid. By the
job -
if it gets done right. Then let the parents pick which teacher they want
based
on their track record.

=====Only if the teachers get to reject some students.

If little Bob tests normal on the IQ test at the beginning of the year and
he
doesn't pass the final the teacher doesn't get paid.

=====And teachers are supposed to get paid, dependent on how much effort
someone else puts into their work? Yea right. I'll bet you would go for
that.

If little Bob gets an A
the teacher gets a bonus. And grade on the curve, based on system wide,
multi
year, results. Yes, I used that evil, segregating, esteem bashing word -
Grades.

'course there is the little problem of poor parents. But teachers should
also
have the right to refuse to take on their jobs.

Around here the teachers can't be fired unless they do something really
bad,
like get convicted of a felony directly related to the school environment.
Simple incompetence is overlooked. And the teachers all know it. Only
the
ones with a bit of personal integrity actually perform. Just like the
rest of
our society......

=====The percentage of poor teachers, or one that don't care is pretty low;
at least at my school.
You should read what you wrote, again. It sounds silly, to me.
