130. The best approach would probably be to bring in teachers from other schools.

Anyone who thinks that student performance in tests is a measure of teacher performance has automatically proven that they don't have a clue what they're talking about and shouldn't be allowed near the education system in any capacity.

If a) all teachers had identical classes and b) the tests in questions were ones that accurately measured everything we want a teacher to impart to a student, then it might concievably not be utterly insane. But both of those are not merely not the case, but laughably, absurdly far from being the case.
