I...Okay, I'll be the first to comment on this one. I will hvae to agree with the Apple side of this issue. I know we are short on teachers, but I think there are many in the profession who get complacent. Tenure is something that is used as a shield for some. Principals are not given the option to fire those who have become ineffective. In our district they just shift the problems around calling it an "administrative transfer." I don't even think I believe in tenure. Teachers have the bad reputation of being a whiney bunch of people, and I think a recent example of it comes from the restructuring of the DEN. If we want to be treated as professionals, then maybe we (as a group) need to act more like professionals. Luckily enough for us, for all of the bad apples out there, there are at least two more good apples that outweigh the bad one. I'm sure I'm not making any teacher friends with this post, but isn't that what blogging is all about...expressing opinions and having people respond to them?Terylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04240419066822433685noreply@blogger.com
