Did you hear that California Supreme Court handed down a ruling saying
that teacher tenure is contrary to a good public school education.

I posted the link to that story a few days ago. The unions out there
are definitely ****ed, which in
itself means the judge made a good call.

That dog faced woman from the NEA certainly has her granny panties in
a wad. She was spitting on the camera on CNN the other day.
The argument was nonsense, just the same old thing about how hard it
is to figure out who the good teachers are.

You boys have no idea why tenure came about and why it is still needed.
You're clueless. Really.
Back in the day when I worked for the NEA, I tried making an argument
that binding arbitration might replace tenure some day, but, of course,
this country has done nothing but crap on working people since 1980 and
that isn't about to stop until there is no middle class left, and the
super rich have every ****ing dollar. I'm glad I won't be around to see
that, because the result will be violence beyond what happened in the
Russian Revolution.

Like other legitimate incentives, tenure for teachers has lost it's
original purpose. Yesterday in a (TV) discussion that I watched it was
pointed out that in some cases tenure was earned after as little as 18
months of teaching. That makes no sense. It should be a minimum of
about 5 years to demonstrate the competency of the teacher.
