    And is that "retraining" center considered being in jeopardy? Because that looks like a paid vacation.

      @skwash4 What does "jeopardy" mean? I would love to know and I dont mean to sound arrogant. Now I have a pressing question.. In "Waiting for Superman" which Im sure you've seen, teachers that run into trouble are sent to this "retraining" center where they do nothing. They sit around reading...

      @skwash4 @skwash4 The fact is that tenure protects bad teachers. Firing a tenured teacher is expensive + long, so it makes the process nearly impossible. There are more lawyers+doctors losing their credentials in the US for underperformance than there are bad teachers - that is the real problem...

      And one last note; Tenure is not something that you have to maintain. There is no -"re-test" to see if you're up to the standard, so someone that was decent 15 years ago is not tested to see if they're good now. There is a fundamental problem with protecting jobs for people who are not performin...

      As a former graduate, I can say with a great amount of certainty that half of these students are not well versed in this argument. LISTEN to the video, theyre more concerned with maintaining HPHS culture (i.e powerpuff game, school colors) and repeating what the adults are saying. That young bl...

      Small schools aim to remove tenure and bring in teacher's who have had successful track records. I dont find it shocking to see the less than stellar teachers arguing this; their jobs are on the line if this goes through. Some of these teachers were teaching compound words in junior yr. "Sail+boa...

      As a former HPHS 2003 graduate, I find this video to be terribly biased. To be fair, the small school movement is based on firing underperforming teachers in our schools, regardless of tenure. Tenure means you cannot be fired which is nice if you're a good teacher. Tenure backfires when underp...
