.2 Picking Teachers

The students should be able to pick their teacher, starting with the worst students first.

Students are supposed to be randomly assigned to their new teacher's classroom each year. This system works on the assumption that all teachers are equal, so it doesn't matter which one you get, you will be taught the same regardless. This is not true, we all know that some teachers are better than others. So what really happens is the most aggressive mothers harass administrators to put their childre in the best teacher's classes.

Instead of this happening under the table, we should open it up to make sure that it is fair. All students should get to pick their teacher, with the failing students choosing first. The best teachers need to go to the children with the most problems. This would help the students because simply being able to make a choice empowers them by involving them in their own education. Different students learn better from different teachers, and only the students themselves know which ones work for them.
