[QUOTE="DriveInDriѵeOut, post: 1183617, member: 44954"] Kind of like how UPS drivers say, you can't touch me, I've got a union. Ya, not really. I don't think you know what you're talking about. Tenure is a non factor here, teachers' tenure does not mean they are not held accountable. At least in my state, teachers have no bargaining rights, and although they are given tenure, they can still be surplussed and replaced with a lower tenure teacher who has a higher score based on student test scores(this only benefits teachers in rich neighborhoods). Teachers' tenure means nothing, and guess what, the system is still a failure. I think you are misunderstanding the executive order. In places like Texas, students are "disciplined", by being taken to jail. Or they are "disciplined", by being suspended (they don't want to be at school in the first place, it's a vacation for them). They are taken out of a system that educates them, and put into a system that teaches them how to be criminals. [/QUOTE]
