  • In Defense Of Teacher Tenure In Schools

    789 Words  | 4 Pages

    Teacher tenure is job protection for teachers who have been employed as a teacher for one or more years depending on the state. Originally tenure was made to help low-income schools to attract, and keep, good teachers (“Should Teachers Get Tenure”) but it also protects teachers from being fired for political or personal reasons. It also prevents school districts from firing experienced teachers to replace them with less expensive teachers. The crucial issue with teacher tenure is that it is offered to a teacher after only one or so years and requires little additional effort afterwards. Once tenure is given to a teacher there are very brief and rare followups to ensure that the teacher still qualifies for tenure.
