The propaganda is rife in the textbooks too. They should all be tossed.

There's a case to be made for tenure at the university level - at least in the sciences. New professors must publish peer-reviewed research papers to keep their jobs. To increase their chances of their papers being accepted for publication, new professors tend to do research that makes small,incremental advances so that the chances of a successful study is high. Once professors have tenure, they can afford to do longer-term research and do research that has a potentially high payoff in terms of new knowledge,but also a higher risk of it being successful.

On the other hand, there is absolutely no reason for K-12 teachers to have tenure.
