If you got a bad review for giving your subordinates bad reviews, would you be so quick to be honest with your review system? Not every teacher has tenure. My mom doesn't, even after 30 years. I'd venture to say the vast majority of public school teachers don't, and will never.
I agree with you, an overhaul of teacher reviews is badly in order. But, for the current state of affairs in which 10th graders can't read or add, we have no one to blame but ourselves. As parents and voters. The actual teachers, for the most part, are just playing the shit hand we've dealt them.

Good point, to which I'll add the question, "How many parents actually help their kids with their homework, these days?"
