[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. I'm in a Chicago suburban public school. Our principal has never had any problem getting rid of teachers who don't belong in the profession. First of all, they don't keep people who suck before they get tenure. But second, she has her ways of getting rid of tenured teachers. One way is adhering to the student growth law. In Illinois, a teacher's rating is tied to student growth scores. If a teacher is failing in other ways, bring on low growth and it takes about a year or a year and a half and that teacher is gone. If a school won't get rid of a "bad" teacher, there is only one problem. A lazy administrator, unwilling to do the documentation needed. Blame the admins. The union can only do so much if the admin is willing to do his or her job.[/quote] Seriously. This thread has been going for more than two years now and there is no end in sight? Clearly someone isn't doing what they need to do and if parents want anything done, they need to make some noise. [/quote]
