Efficiency in education

I was discussing motivation with my uncle and he was making the point that sometimes it doesn't matter WHO the teacher is because the student is going to fail. In specific instances, he's probably correct. For the most part, however, there are teachers who are more effective than other teachers.

What's the best way to showcase successful work?

I think by putting more work online would help. My fear is the loud and angry mob would jump on controversial teachers.

I asked the union steward at my school what the union was doing these days.

"Helping to elect Obama."

I was proud to be in the teacher's union :)
