Then people need to be fired. They have to get rid of this tenure thing. What other profession has that?
Agree, tenure is ridiculous and needs to go. But when you have a government office like the education department churning out teaching criteria, disaster is the only possible result
mmm, mmmm, mm
They have to get rid of this tenure thing.
Your statement is simple and short however right with potency, NYM!
Good luck trying to fire a teacher in NYC or Chicago, the unions have a 5 foot blueprint of hoops that have to be jumped before you even think about it. We’ve had teachers that molested or smacked around kids sitting in one of the district offices picking their nails all day, for months... or years.
The fact they teach to the test instead of true teaching doesn’t help.
They also push (illegal), for parents to drug their kids, more parent participation is needed and they need to know the state’s responsibility is not raising your children.
Last year I had twin boys 12th grade reading 4th grade level... I lost my mind on the dean, who wanted to shuffle them to trade school months before grad to make their bottom line look better; I lost it on the parents as well.
Never had resource room to help with reading or any help at all. The union gets the raise without accountability every time. Yet the good teachers got harassed as well as 40 kids to a class.
Don’t get me started on the Board of Ed or mono Spanish and bilingual classes.
“Then people need to be fired. They have to get rid of this tenure thing. What other profession has that?”
Pretty much any government, union or private professional level job.
They call it an employment contract. It protects an employee against arbitrary or capricious dismissal.
