Its not
Have children universally got the skills to establish the required criteria for a teacher?
No and working in the education sector i can confirm this. The people who interview for jobs are trained in the area and can think objectively, selecting a candidate based on competency, experience and qualifications
Regardless of how mature you think you are at 16 there are very few schools where this could even start to be a success
...... for example how many kids at 16 know how to distinguish between differentiated learning and what is not from an interview answered question?
Some kids are bright, but some are just unable to appreciate what makes a good teacher
kids are far more inclined ON THE WHOLE to base their choice on factors which will not rank highly on the list of criteria for succesful teaching
Its nice to have feedback from kids on teachers but to think there is any weighting in the decision as to whether someone gets employed? not a chance as a UNIVERSAL RIGHT for children
