I think it's "okay" because you are chosen. And if you are not well known, you aren't given a chance as a nominee.

I believe it's great depending on the new teachers and the students themselves. Sometimes the student gives the teachers a hard time. Sometimes the new teachers teaching skills just are not tough enough to be able to control a class room.

Administration doesn't care if your kid is bullied to suicide. They promote social darwinism. They don't understand how damaging bullies are or if they do get it they couldn't care less. What is that principal doing anyway? May be time to take it to the school board.
