Bullsh!t!
Tenure ensures that they can't be fired unless it's for murder or rape, and not necessarily for the latter.
That's also a bunch of crap. In Buffalo NY every few years, the city's teachers are given a high school proficiency exam and most of them cannot even pass what is required of the students to graduate from high school.
And the response is what?
Cries of *racism*. No denying that it's wrong results. No, the test administrators are racists.
Right.....
You are SO pathetically dumb and rude.
After your obnoxious, and yes, rude and dumb post, you have the nerve to call HIM rude and dumb? That's the pot calling the kettle black.
This entity of indeterminate sex is so over the top and deluded there was nothing else it could do in the reply to my original post but to name-call...and continue with the most inane school-yard nonsense. It probably thinks that all the teachers in NYC have just been doing a great job; yet, the the fact that the kids have been getting worse and worse means nothing as long as s/he and its colleagues cannot be fired and never have to be checked for competence (while their pensions increase), all is good in its world.
Incredibly pathetic. No wonder the kids are in such bad shape with this as an example of NYC teachers...and a socialist calling itself conservative. Sheesh.
