Tenured teachers

Interesting article.

Of course the first comment at Richard's blog here https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=438461550168398569&postID=3140093666193954922 is from our mate Thomas Vaughan.

I think you could investigate the employees of any institution and find bad ones. I guarantee you this, more good, dedicated and honest teachers leave every year because of the stress of the job than could ever be fired if they got rid of tenure.

A real hatchet job by Mr. Matus but is was great reading right Richard?

What did it prove and why did you include it on your blog? I was shocked that you would do this. I am a big fan of this blog but I am disappointed that you felt it necessary to include this garbage.

Whatever happened to First Amendment rights, free speech and speaking one's mind? Oh, that's right ... you disagree with it, so no one is allowed to mention it.

And swearing on your father's grave doesn't disprove the allegations.

From the article:

There is no easy way to find out which teachers get in trouble a lot.
Their personnel files are public record, but they're not posted on the Web, and it can easily cost more than $100 to redact and copy a few files.

I might get a hold of a copy of Thomas's file and have a gander. I'm sure that Vinegartits has.
