Much of the current controversy over the use of standardized tests to determine teacher tenure is a reflection of the fact that many teachers are being evaluated by principals who themselves have no expertise running a classroom. The experiments attempting to create "instant" principals now can be declared a failure. Insuring that there is a fully qualified "principal teacher" running a school costs not a penny more than hiring an unqualified neophyte.
