Should students in the USA be allowed to grade teachers on effort?
In Sweden students are allowed to give their teachers reports to see where improvement is needed and what can be done. Keep in mind Sweden has a higher literacy rate than the USA. Think about it......

I know in college students fill out surveys about their professors, and schools use that.

Colleges in america do this. But think about it -- a kid doesn't do their work, gets a bad grade and hates the teacher because of it -- not exactly an impartial way of getting feedback.

In Sweden they also get home schooled until they are 7 (I think it's seven), they have a MUCH BETTER work ethic, it's not the same in other parts of the world.

I'm sure the teachers unions have very specific clauses in their contracts that prevent such critiques of their performance. After all, isn't that what "workers rights" are all about?

its not really the teachers fault if the dumbass kids don't want to pay attention and learn, in california the highschools are full of gang members, wannabe gang members, pot smoking hippies, girls getting preggo from left to right, etc, just all around bad stuff happens in schools. how about cleaning them up and kick all the bad kids out, before we work on the teachers. just an answer.

In Sweden teachers are allowed to keep order in class and students have consequences when they do not do school work or disrupt class. The more centralized government, uniform social expectations, lend themselves to a much better educational environment. It is not realistic to completely toe someone's hands in regard to work performance, then grade performance and find fault. There are very good reasons why Nordic countries are considered to be the best places to live.

At the College I go to the student do grade the teacher, at high school the students do grade the teachers. I lower grades the parents grade the teachers. Keep in mind students chose their classes in college and drop classes or withdraw from teachers that are overly insane with homework. Keep in mind, high school students sign up for good teachers first and then are forced to take bad teachers when there is no room left in the good teachers classes. As keep in mind as parents we ask for teachers and avoid others for our children Please keep in mind that even if a teacher is completely incompetent they cannot be fired becuase of the unions
