[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tenure! And the other side of the coin is that private school teachers have relatively fewer rights, and virtually no course of action if they are unjustly fired. And sadly this happens more often than you would think....[/quote] There's no tenure in VA. I am a public school teacher who has seen my share of bad teachers. I think often times it is laziness on the part of administration because in order to actually let a teacher go, you have to give them poor evaluations, follow up with a plan for improvement, and get into the classrooms of these teachers multiple times to see if they are improving. It takes a lot of work and administrators (at least in my school) just don't seem to have the time or desire to do all that so teachers just stay where they are. Or if they do get let go, they are often just moved to another school. Sad, but very true.[/quote] 5:49 here. I think you nailed it with your response. I can't think of anything else to add except that some school systems are beginning to "tighten up." In a middle school where I work, two teachers were pressured to resign at the end of the year. Basically, the principal initiated Personal Improvement Plans that were pretty tough. [/quote]
