OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! The horror!!!!!!! Some semblance of DUE PROCESS!!!! NOOOOOOOO!

No state wants to pay for a real evaluation system - a longitudinal study tracking every student to the grave with their outcomes correlated to which teachers and subjects they had during their time in public schools, adjusted for socioeconomic factors, historical events, genetic inheritance, and students' own definitions of success or failure at the terminal point of their lives.

Anything less is a fart in the wind.
