Here in Alabama if a teacher teaches in a school district for a specific period of time the school system will offer them a tenured position. For those of you that do not know what that is, it is a guaranteed job, until you retire, in a nutshell. You don't have to teach anymore, you don't have to stay current with your subject, ( science, history) you just show up 9 months out of the year and complain that you "don't get paid enough to put up with this". So if you teach elementary school you tell the parents their child needs to be put on Riddlin, Adderall, etc.. If you teach high school you just tell the kids to read the chapter and answer the questions at the end. My 1st. grade teacher wanted me to go to special ed because I didn't pay attention in class .
I would like to know if tenure is common in the US or is it just here in the South. If it is common, I have an idea on how to help fix our public school system.
