talking tough to teachers

And while it may be really hard to do so in certain schools, that doesn't change the fact that teaching is perhaps more important in problem schools. A teacher who cannot teach in a problem school might not be a bad teacher generally, but there is no reason to leave them in the problem school if they can't do it there. Give someone else a chance to fail, or maybe suceed.

Vis-a-vis my local public schools, I've been told by someone who should know better than I (hi gwinky!) that people are too impatient, and keep running out the top officials and bringing in a new program before the old one has had a chance to work. In other words, a "give someone else a chance to fail" approach. And they do.
