Let’s face it. The fact that it is very difficult or impossible to fire really bad teachers is a black eye for all educators. Even if you can get rid of a bad apple, it will probably come at a high cost to the tax payers. Here are stories from this week’s (6/4/2012) newspapers on the subject. Finding more would be easy. I think this is one area were teacher’s unions could gain support if they give up some control.
