Of course poor teachers will have a more difficult time if there is real competition.
Part of the problem is there aren't enough teachers. Bad teachers stay employed because there isn't a warm body to take his or her place. Y'all live to simultaneously romanticize teaching while villainizing teachers. It's hard work and the pay isn't awesome. I don't know where the only work 7 months a year comes from. I often think about leaving for another career. I work 11 months a year as a tea her. I'm willing to work 12 months for 20k plus more a year in a different industry.

biggest reason for this is the governmental barrier to entry
i have a fricking law degree and can teach political or social studies from a much more educated POV than most teachers (i'm not insulting them, just discussing actual education in the subjects). i could teach at a law school tomorrow without regulatory or licensure issue. however, in LA, i can't teach fricking elementary school kids about civics b/c i don't have a teaching certificate that is somewhat onerous to receive
