Tenured teachers are NOT required to teach! Performance from TENURED teachers is irrelevant for their guaranteed jobs! In a non-competitive environment, tenure is a direct reflection on low student performance scores.

The battle is on: Tenured teachers’ job protection along with no accountability for their performance vs. the students’ need to learn from teachers with no accountability to actually teach. In a “real” business, only the performers survive.

Sports: Can you imagine tenured athletes with guaranteed jobs having the motivation to be competitive against athletes fighting for their jobs?

Construction: Can you expect quality work and adherence to any schedule with a complacent worker tenured with job protections?

Medical: Can you expect quality service from individuals with protected jobs and complacency to stay abreast of the latest technologies and procedures?

Tenure has got to end and let the performers survive.
