Do we want the crappiest, most unmotivated teachers teaching those kids?

No, of course not. I think we can assess teachers and reward those who do a good job the same way we assess and reward middle managers, whose performance is just as hard to quantify.
Teachers in dangerous, lousy school districts should get a special form of hazardous duty pay, and a different incentive system which allows them to make bonuses at lower goals, since that's the reality of the situation. The market demands we pay top dollar to those people, and they deserve it. We should allot our tax dollars in that direction above all else, since that's the real engine of our future prosperity, and would go far further toward social parity the Democrats seem to want than their idiot do-gooder programs which blow 70% of every dollar on administration costs for fattened bureaucrats.
