  • It's important to understand the functions of tenure. Traditionally, tenure was a means of ensuring academic freedom to professors doing research in universities. This academic freedom is essential at the cutting edge of knowledge, but how controversial can K-12 topics be?

    K-12 tenure essentially serves as a form of compensation; teachers will accept lower wages in exchange for security. This reduces the accounting cost, but forces the real cost of (potentially) lower quality on students.

  • Interesting that Haslam's State of the State mentioned videos re: exceptional teaching and Frist utilizes video to make the case for excellence in education but everyone is obsessed with having a live teacher in the same classroom as every student rather than giving every kid access to an archive of great educators. Results-only learning environments demand that we reconsider EVERY ASSUMPTION about what makes up a quality learning environment.
