I agree with that too. I don't know how to get politicians that have genuine desires to help people and I think part of that is because if we did find them, they would be voted out because they didn't do anything. I think that it might be too late right now because unless that politician could prove what they were doing before hand, the media would tear them apart. I slightly agree with basing teachers off performance, but measuring that performance with tests that change every year is not the best way. Possibly make a test that doesn't constantly change - every little bit to correct something (clearly the problems need reworded and such) if you're teaching kids, the test should fall in line with what is being taught. Teaching for a test is fundamentally flawed because not only does it lower the chance anyone actually learned anything, it also creates a neuroticism in both teachers and students. Something definitely needs done. Removing a few tests and school days from the calendar probably wouldn't do much; it may make everyone happier, though.
