No my friend, You misunderstand again
I have been to school, been interviewed for teaching jobs, been in interviews for teaching jobs, I have sat both sides of the fence, hence why i can look at this from a much broader angle rather than that of a school pupil
and no, i have been a student in the 21st century

how can you explain that for as long as i can remember, friendly teachers that pupils can relate to have, in my experience achieved much better grades? i cant prove this so you will just have to believe me.

friendly teachers or teachers kids think will be good? massive difference

when you say KS5 etc, do you mean key skils?

lol, prime example of why you cannot sit here and state kids are good choices for interviewing potential teachers
Quote:

you say they are only exposed to these skills at a certain age? kids dont learn everything in school,

In which situation do chicldren universally gain the attributes to be good interviewers and make impartial decisions outside school with something so serious?
kids learn many things outside school. what makes a successful teacher is not one most will, period

I dont keep in contact with many people that sat on the school council for my school at age 16, a couple of them are on facebook, one is doing medicine in bristol, and another mech engineering at cardiff. Both of these subjects would require three 'A' s at a-level for entry

So, you pass a spoon fed exam? how on earth does that make you an experienced interviewer? really? do you think NQTs hold interviews? no, they dont have the experience yet are in a better position than most kids
Lets also look at the dynamics within a school.
Who gets to go on the interviewing board?
how does that work with school dynamics amongst their peer group?
Do the kids get the blame from other students if the kids dont like the teacher or fail their grades?
Do the kids say to the teacher 'we got you this job so you better be thankful'
children are subordinates and dont universally possess the maturity to make a worthwile contribution to these things, period
they have good attributes, prentending they are ready to interview being one? no not a chance
