Evaluation of teachers

The recent discussion about the evaluation of teachers ended as it usually ends any discussion in the country. The proposed solution is generally rejected, but no alternative, consensual solution emerges.

There are two questions on this matter:

First, should teachers be evaluated?

Yes, they should.

Second, how should teachers be evaluated?

The answer to this question is centuries old. Teachers should be evaluated by other teachers who are their seniors.

(Let me anticipate the answer to one possible question of my readers: how does one evaluate the most senior of all teachers, those who have reached the top of the hierarchy? The answer is: by their own conscience, that is by God).
