Without tenure, you could fire a teacher because you don't like the way she looks, or you want to hire your cousin's boyfriend, or you dislike the teacher's beliefs, or his religion, or skin color, and you could tell them to clean out their desk and leave the building in three hours. Then you could bring in some Walmart workers and minimum wage to take their jobs.
Wow. Doesn't that sound exactly like what our schools need right now?

Once again . . . There are 3 components to reading fluency: accuracy, automaticity, and prosody.
The first can be directly taught through phonics and decoding strategies.
But, the other two, only come from practice, practice, practice.
It's up to the students to read on their own at home.
A teacher can expose his students to good literature, and even model fluent reading, but it is up to the INDIVIDUAL STUDENT to do the ASSIGNED READING!
Some don't even bother to read the Cliff Notes anymore!

Teachers are way over paid. Fuck them.
@ya19375 I agree with you that tenure should be abolished--but don't blame the "administration" for "giving out tenure"---the administration has to "give tenure", because "tenure" is part of the system--no thanks to the teachers' unions.

@MrRandyDick True, a tenured teacher CAN be fired; however, not many ARE, because it's not so simple to do.
