I'm not saying that bad teachers don't exist, but that's utterly short sighted for the reason you yourself state later:

The only problem I have found is they now teach to test and not teach.

Not only is assessing teachers by grades short sighted for such reason, it also encourages teachers to be more lax on their grading, which is dishonest for the students.

It was noted that kids were slipping through and not getting the proper instruction. Teachers were not held accountable. They are held accountable now.

So fixing the symptom instead of the illness? Who didn't hold the teachers accountable? And by what basis was such decision made? I'd start from there.
Again, bad teachers exist. And at least in here they are noticed by their colleagues far sooner than their students or parents.
