Characters. You have to make us care about the characters. If we really care about the teacher; if we believe in the passion of the person trying to get the teacher fired; if we see the effects incompetent teaching have had on students, and not just statistics, but actual living, breathing student _characters_, then the stakes are huge. Show us both/all sides of the issue, not academically, but through the characters who really believe in what they're doing, If they believe, you can make us believe, and once we believe, we'll care. ETA: Ask yourself why YOU care. That's probably why we'll care, too.
