chained_bear commented on the word dance of the lemons
"Many principals don't even try to weed out the poor performers (or they transfer them to other schools in what's been dubbed the 'dance of the lemons'). Year after year, about 99 percent of all teachers in the United States are rated 'satisfactory' by their school systems; firing a teacher invites a costly court battle with the local union."
