24. It should be the way teaching works
After 3 to 5 years, it should be clear whether a newly hired teacher is developing well or should be encouraged to seek another position or profession.

Besides on-the-job factors, there are many other reasons why the performance of employees deteriorates over time. These include alcoholism, drugs, bad marriages, problems with children, problems with parents, criminal activity, chronic illnesses, and various psychological and mental conditions. Some of these can be dealt with by personnel policies and counseling, but others cannot.

I wouldn't want an alcoholic teacher teaching kids any more than I would want an alcoholic doctor treating me.
