Teacher Tenure

Abstract: An Argument : A 9 page paper. One of the more controversial issues in public education is the practice of teacher tenure. Tenure, originally adopted to protect teachers against unfair and arbitrary dismissal, now does little more than protect teachers' jobs regardless of the quality of their performance. It also keeps good teachers tied to an unfair pay schedule while giving incompetent teachers an automatic pay raise that has nothing to do with performance. There are many arguments for and against tenure but in today's world the arguments to abolish tenure outweigh the arguments to keep it. This essay presents both sides of the argument. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
