You taught in a classroom and, I assume, you have taught people you have hired at a company in your position as a manager or senior engineer. There is a very significant difference in accountability. If in the classroom, a student falls through the cracks, it isn't your fault and you are not held accountable. Whereas, if you are leading a software engineering team, you hired the best qualified applicants available at the time, you are under pressure to be the best in the world and those people you hired will always fall short of that, the accountability to get those employees up to speed falls on you -- you can't say they are disabled, fire them, and hire new employees since they were the best qualified applicants available when you hired them, you can't do better. If your team fails, it isn't because the people you choose to hire, it is because of you. It is impossible to devise a system where teachers are held accountable for student performance in a classroom. I wouldn't even start to suggest that it is something we should do. What could go wrong?
