Teacher fakes fall to avoid evaluation

A teacher at a Brooklyn school faked a fall down a short set of stairs in order to avoid a scheduled observational evaluation.
She either forgot about the security camera or thought she was Oscar worthy.
She wasn't a very good actress and continued to insist that the fall was real, even though she quickly resigned.
The evaluation came after an entire three years of teaching.
How could she do the job for three years and still be so bad that she knew she was likely to fail?
I know there are a large number of bad teachers out there that the "system" protects.
They are a small percentage overall, but too many to accept as "business as usual".
If this is an example of a non-tenured teacher, I shudder to think of what the tenured failures are like.
