The topic being talked about today is should teacher's get tenure. Tenure's keep teachers from getting fired for personal, political, or non-work related reasons. Before this some people were fired based on being pregnant, partying, and other reasons that had nothing to do with their place of work. Although all of this sounds fine and dandy, some people look at having tenure as a way to do as minimum work as possible because they know they have less a chance of getting fired. Therefore teachers become lazy and do not try to improve their teaching ways to benefit children. Although a benefit of not having tenure allows for a teacher to get fired if they are not fufilling their duties. I personally am indifferent about tenure because, although teacher's jobs should be protected, if tenure promotes teacher's to become lazy and it begins to affect the population of the school, than that damages our chances of being able to compete with other children from other schools. This relates to class because we have been talking about whether Mr.Griffis should get fired our not for not teaching. But the answer is no because he is a great teacher. How do you feel about teachers having tenure as a scaprgoat, and getting away with the bare minimum of teaching?
This picture shows how a teacher uses tenure to explain that he doesn't have to do his job completely or correctly.
This picture illustrates a teacher doing a good job and teaching. I have a similar teacher too this named Mr.Griffis.
This video shows people answering a general question on whether teachers should be paid on performance are tenure.
