The first thing that they should do in terms of improving teacher quality is making all teachers take the PCL-R. Teaching is the ideal profession for a psychopath who has some control over their impulses. They have an endless supply of victims who probably won't be believed if they even realise what's going on.
I totally agree with this. It applies to a number of other fields too - anywhere people have total power over others eg nursing. This is one of the reasons I totally oppose the use of corporal punishment in schools. I saw far too many teachers who manifestly got their rocks off torturing children. Tim Josling
