The screaming and hair pulling by incompetent teachers and the NEA will raise in volume as a sensible solution to the public school failures expose more and more failures.

All because some teachers would make better hamburger tossers at McDonalds.

Pay teachers for demonstrated ability not tenure.

Pay teachers for demonstrated ability not tenure.

Thanks for your post. Speaking of flipping burgers -- I know a pre-K teacher who was so burnt out the mere sight of her actually made her students cry, as these little 4 year olds could just sense the frustration in everything about her. She wanted to quit teaching and work in Burger King (she thought she'd make more money being a manager there), but the principal talked her into staying and just gave her another grade level (K). I think he should have let her go. Another year or two and she is at her full pension. But, when kids are crying just being around this teacher, I think it's time for her to go!
