agreed. School systems can get rid of poor teachers, but the administrators need to grow some cojones and most have none. It is the job of the administrators to tell teachers how they need to improve and then come back and tell them again if they do not improve and after the fourth time they can fire them.

I cannot believe that any self respecting teachers association would defend a lousy teacher in such proceedings, but it is the administrator's jobs to initiate dismissal process.
