Perhaps it will give the teacher who doesn't teach the children the incentive to give the incentive to the teacher who DOES teach the children.

This is about as unfair as it gets. A teacher who works hard and gets results should not be penalized by test scores from a student they did not teach - especially if those students came from a substandard teacher's classroom.

The parents and Children and young adults who make poor decisions are not held accountable for their decisions- nowadays, it's the teacher's fault. Kind of like blaming the bank for giving that person a loan who defaulted, or blaming McDonald's for your child's weight (who bought them those happy meals again?), blaming police for higher crime, etc. The US has turned into a country that blames someone else for its problems and does nothing to make meaningful change. The teachers are doing their best; quit punishing them or you will have no one to teach at all. A wise person once said, "If you keep doing what you always did, you will get what you always got".
