Yeah,

let's skirt the issue of administrator incompetence and let's go after the teachers, giving these morons even MORE power over teachers' livelihoods than they already have.

My comment at the end of this story:

By God, let's give these moronic or crazy principals even MORE power than they already have against teachers, and, if the principals screw up, well, that's okay, because the district will rig the "hearings" without ANY legal consequences to the school district. Bribery, perjury, and other criminal acts are allowed in these so-called legal proceedings, as long as the school districts commit them. The most punishment these idiot principals get is to get moved to other schools, like the Catholic Church would do with pedophile priests. Lengthening the "probationary" period for teachers isn't the solution to the "problem." Making it easier to FIRE principals (NOT demote or move them around) and stripping them of their licenses for misconduct or incompetence would go a long way in solving the problem. But then again WCSD, for example, would have few principals left if that happened.
