I've not seen much of this sort of thing except at the college level. My
former high school did have students do a sort of evaluation of teachers,
which the counselor used to spot trends. Since that was a small school (160
or so students in grades 9-12) it was easy to do.
Faculty evaluation of the principal can be a useful tool, or it can be a
complete waste of time. If the evaluations are done properly, and the
principal uses them wisely, they can be a big help to the school. If,
however, teachers and principal use them to "get back" at people, or if the
attitude of "you scratch my back and I'll scratch your's" appears, they are
just a waste of time.
I suspect that those principals who are afraid of the evaluations are the
ones who have not been doing their jobs well when they were evaluating
their teachers, and are concerned that they will get the same type of
evaluation that they have been giving.
