In regards to the discussions and material on teachers’ tenure, I believe that it is an issue that needs to be addressed. I believe that the very nature of the tenure system encourages or at least permits sub par performance from teachers. With little to no accountability for tenured teachers, many of the tenured teachers quit pushing the boundaries of their teachings and teaching styles. Also, what makes the tenure system appropriate for teaching when it is not used for businesspeople, nurses, or law enforcement agents? I believe that most teachers continue to put forth effort upon reaching tenure, but it is obvious that some teachers do not. It is these teachers that ruin it for the rest, but because of these teachers I believe that the tenure system should be disposed of.
