Younger teachers can't see themselves staying on long, so tenure doesn't matter to them. I remember when I started teaching I thought the same thing, and yet here I am many years later. Without tenure, right now I'd be unemployed.<BR/><BR/>I don't think I'd discourage anyone from going into teaching, though. Yes, it's worse than it used to be, but is the private sector better?Mr. Talkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05239113469882849506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5477669229969550311.post-66067441157564896912009-01-31T11:14:00.000-05:002009-01-31T11:14:00.000-05:00I hope senior teachers will not be bought out.

I will never vote for the end of tenure, no matter how much money they offer me, but I see your point.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad I am at the end of my career and do everything I can to discourage my students from entering the profession.Pissedoffteacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07924089808582137198noreply@blogger.com
