Thanks for visiting my blog. Like you, I detest the teacher tenure process. Though I have been both a teacher and professor, I think the tenure process can be stifling and confining. I've heard the pros and cons ad infinitum, but I think the tenure system doesn't serve students: it tends to serve those who hold the tenure. Thanks again for stopping by to comment.

I'm not sure I share your assumptions about our politicians; many do have interests of students in mind, but they differ on which interests should be paramount and how best to promote those interests. That said, I should add that I'm a great believer in the ideal of a meritocracy. But I have yet to see one in action. Pat, Thanks for visiting.

Also, I never have liked the teacher tenure process... but then you are probably a teacher too.

I think we should scrap affirmative action and accept people on their merits and qualifications. This should apply to schools and jobs. But I don't think the politicans care about what is in the best interest of our students. They care more about getting the votes and if they don't push for affirmative action, they are afraid they won't get the votes. I totally agree!
