31. Right
In theory, the worst possible student for such a teacher to have would be a student who scored perfectly the year before. There is no possibility of raising the performance!

Most of us would be thrilled to have a second year of perfect scoring, and would think that both student and teacher had done a great job. But in this system, the teacher would be a failure. I cannot imagine a worse way to inspire teachers.

A sad story but a great example of why modelling has such distinct real-world failures.
