Do Katrinas happen every year? A real estate company shouldn't compare their employees performance the same in a year prices go up to a year when prices go down. That is why you never rely on one year's statistics. But over time the averages will kick in and the objective truth will come out on who is performing and who is not. Actually determining competance in a school environment should be a lot easier than most environments. Teachers have a pretty simple and limited goal: to teach basic math, reading and writing. In many business there are a variety of things most employees must balance and accomplish, but teachers just have one task to perform, educate their students.
