However, you need to keep in mind that school districts, without some protection for a teacher in place, could eliminate a teacher for any reason if tenure did not exist.

Like, say, every other job in the world?

Actually the danger is just the opposite. Without job security, bennies, etc. teachers would be prone to the same market forces as any other job in the world.

The best teachers would go to those districts that could afford to pay the most.
