Not all parents are that involved, and a kid being bored in class isn't necessarily the teacher's fault.

Then that's the root problem that needs to be fixed, and trying to invent ways for third party "experts" to "measure teacher effectiveness" won't help.

It might not be that individual teacher's fault, true; the kid might just be in the wrong class. But it still means there's a teaching problem.
