> minimal accountability

Name any job other than "Congressman" in which a single nude photo of you will put you name in the tabloids and end your career.

Thats an extreme case. The problem, is that after a certain point in your career it will take nothing short of that nude photo to get a teacher fired. No matter how ineffective or incompetent they are.

Teachers still have a ton of accountability. They aren't necessarily accountable to be good teachers, but there's a lot of stuff they are accountable to do. There's usually a lot of paperwork and all kinds of requirements.
