TENURE. When you have teachers with that magic word tied to them it is almost impossible to get rid of poor performing teachers.

I am speaking from experience with this issue. At my kids K-5 there is a teacher that her answer for every kid (kindergarden and 1st grade) that cant sit still is "well this child needs a drug to make them settle down" When it was brought to the attention of the school admin of her lack of ability to cope............

You guessed it. Because she is a TENURED teacher that is not a thing we can do. She is responsable for costing a lot of people a LOT of money for testing and psych evals on 5-7 year olds because SHE was going through the change of life and could no longer stand her job. So dope the kids up to the point that they were zombies so SHE could cope.

THe final outcome, place into an administrative position till she got to the 30 year point so she could retire.

What a load of *****.
