Tenure is one of the main reasons public education is as bad as it is.

BINGO!!


Statements like that show that you are only smart enough to play a game. ;-)
There are many problems in education, but tenure does not even make the top
ten. For you to say that, shows you are not in agreement with the experts
in education, or it's critics. Do some research.

Low teacher pay is the biggest single reason that public education is in
trouble, IMHO. Most smart people go to the public sector where they can
make double or triple their teacher salary.

A close second is the lack of support teachers get from administration, but
mainly, from most parents. Get a problem child? Meet the parent, *if* you
can get them to come to the school for a meeting. The apple does not fall
very far from the tree.

I said before, that I was not going to get sucked in on this debate. I'm
done, now.
