teachers more power to get rid of other teachers. Interesting but in
need of some refinement.

1. I agree when he says "If we let the administrators do all the dirty work we lose respect..." Although I don't think that "policing" one another is the appropriate alternative, I would be interested to see how teachers would react with one another if everyone held eachother accountable for their actions.

2. #5 is quite interesting. However, if a teacher knows his or her material and can articulate it well, I believe that he or she can grab his or her students' attentions' just as much as any "performing teacher" can.
