FYI, my mother is an ex principal and inspector and my father is a retired associate professor - I have grown up around the education system all my life and they were both active unionists too.
You are simply spouting the Education Union line that is desperate to keep accountability out of education. Lets face it, as long as you keep your hands off the kids and stick to the syllabus you have a job for life.
No one (who is sane) would argue that the % of piss poor teachers is very high but logic indicates that it must exist.
These rankings will eventually be used to identify and remove poorer performers - just like any other job.
OK so the head of the "average" school in an "average" area is up for promotion and comes up against someone who takes the same type of school to "above average" you think that wont count eventually.
This is what scares the union shitless I reckon - eventually they will end up with KPI's just like everyone else.
