Yes. This will be my 18th year. Combined with the four years I attended as a student, I've been at Elgin High School over half my life. Tenure is dying a slow death, but it's time has come. Bad teachers need to be fired, but defining what "bad" means is not as easy as it sounds. I think most teachers will embrace it if the mechanism they come up with is fair and takes into account more than just standardized test scores. Yes, I've seen Waiting for Superman, and it's both completely true and frustratingly naive at the same time. Same vibe I felt after watching An Inconvenient Truth. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Peter T.
