There is a way to evaluate a teacher's performance
One is to benchmark each student with a standard test at BOTH the start and
end of the "teaching period".
But because there are so many outside factors that come into play, such as
the student's culture and home life, that there will never be a good enough
system to do so properly.

It is not easy to grade a teacher, but it is possible to weed out the
bottom 10% or so. Every trade or profession has a few whackos. Get
rid of them early on. Give the rest a good paycheck.

We are the top spending country for education in the world, but rank
only 10th in academics. It is not just money or the lack of it.
Parent involvement is worse than ever too.
