Teacher Evaluations

Can anyone tell me the point of the teacher evaluations? We all have to do them at one point in college or grad school. (I don't think they do these in high school for obvious reasons--most of the teachers are losers and pretty stupid.)
But in law school you have to fill out an evaluation for every professor and every dean's fellow (student TAs). It seems to me that the faculty and administration are actually looking for bad reviews. It's the teachers that get poor evaluations from students that seem to stay in school forever without ever any threat of losing their jobs.
The teachers that get good evaluations from their students are likely gone in a couple semesters, off to bigger and brighter schools.
But a teacher with bad evaluations, a school is destined to keep forever. I've had several professors (who shall remain nameless), that were absolutely terrible educators. Dragged on through class and tormented students for days on end. I can't imagine any of them getting good reviews from students. But any prof. that does get good reviews will read them, get a head full of steam, and then move onto another school thinking the university of Miami is not good enough for them.
Nonetheless, I love evaluations--they're anonymous and you can bash them, and curse them out all you want and they'll never know who the little cocksucker was. But I attempt to be honest and tell them where their mechanics are actually flawed, which is usually all over the place. But honestly, who sits through 300 pieces of paper every semester analyzing what their students actually think about them. Not any logical professor that wants to keep their sanity, that's for damn sure.
