Teacher's unions serve a real and needed purpose in many cases. However, any teacher will tell you that there are bad apples at their school that need to be removed but can't be removed because of tenure. Also, all of us could probably tell a story about at least one teacher during your schooling who had absolutely no business teaching what-so-ever. I am all for firing bad teachers. I'm not really sure testing is required to measure that though, since it's so easy for us to collectively recite the names of teachers in our past that need to be fired. The problem isn't identifying the bad teachers, it's being allowed to fire them. -Cameron ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Purchase Studio MX with Flash Pro from House of Fusion, a Macromedia Authorized Affiliate and support the CF community. http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=51 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:176146 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
