Wrong - this simply allows that most corrupt of systems, the education system, to fill its' ranks with the stooges and lackeys that are cronies of the administrators. Politics in school systems are flagrant and exclusionary - that is why tenure was instituted. Whistleblowers and people of integrity are booted as fast as possible....you're not welcome if you rock the boat.

That said, the tenure system requires overhaul to enable shedding the true dead weight teachers. But first, there must be oversight of the administrators - who are a monumental obstruction to true reform and efficient practice. THEY are the ones who establish the protocols of business in schools - THEY are the ones truly responsible for the abject disgrace our schools have become.
