Yes, teachers who earn tenure should get it. That is common in all educational organizations. Being common doesn't mean its a good idea. I think it's a bad idea. I'd rather have 5%-10% of teachers removed each year, or at least have some method of getting rid of the bad ones. Teachers don't get paid very much so they get more job security than most. Plenty of jobs pay less than teachers and have less job security, so that doesn't add up. If you don't want to offer tenure, you have to pay them better. Or you won't attract good teachers from the private sector. I think there is a large supply of teachers because people think its a fun job. That's one reason the pay is low (supply-demand). However, I would have no problem with increasing teachers pay and also making it a lot harder for them to get and hold those high paying jobs. Maybe some type of pyramid structure similar to what we have in law firms (if you don't get promoted to the high paying teacher's position in X years, you're out the door).
