I think that firstly that it is a natural reaction. All people in the western world certainly are not pleased with people have some evaluation to do of your driving behaviour, of your clothing behaviour, or whatever you are doing in our society. So it is a natural reaction of all people, and certainly of professionals like teachers and principals. The same is of course valid for medical doctors and nurses and so on. Its a natural reaction that there is a certain alarming mechanism if somebody from outside is coming to look into what you are doing and to give an evaluation of that.
And secondly, of course, we must confess that, let me say, in the history of external inspections of the last sixty years of something like that, there has often been in many countries a mixing up of evaluating functions regarding the individual teacher, and it's still the case in countries like France and Germany, and the function of being an advisory person with the task of stimulation, advising and so on. External evaluation as such is more a matter of public accountability of the quality of the school. Of course it can be a basis for the development, and for other people coming in and giving advisory things and stimulating things. But the external evaluation as such is indeed what they call in German a "Fruitkuyper" in the school. Its a lion thing for the school itself. And what you say about good relationships, about humor of inspectors, about respectful behaviour for teacher etc., That all has to be done, of course, I think it remains a difficult thing for teachers and principals to have external people coming in.
