Abstract	In an effort to equalize the quality of teacher resources across all state schools in the compulsory education sector of China and eliminate the school choice phenomenon, the Chinese government has launched a nationwide program of rotating principals and teachers. This study has revealed mixed results to date. While the rotation of teachers has helped to narrow the gap in teacher quality between the low-performing and high-performing schools, the study has revealed some important issues that need to be addressed, such as conflict of goals, ineffective incentives, and rotation for rotation's sake. Whether such a Robin Hood method of "robbing the rich in order to help the poor" can consistently raise the quality of teacher resources and improve the overall quality of education across the whole country remains to be seen.
