im doing a persuasive essay on firing them

I'm an assistant principal, and usually a person who is a really bad teacher can be "persuaded" to leave. It looks a lot better that someone resigns than gets fired. Believe me, though, after someone has been given every opportunity to perform, I have no problem asking them to reconsider their choice of profession.

Regardless if you were a model or not, you can't be fired from your job for being "too pretty". If you aren't causing the distractions purposefully; You're not dressing to "distract"; then you can't be fired. It would be discrimination. If you are as you say "too pretty" then I would think that the female teachers around you are being typical females when confronted with someone prettier than they, and just being vindictive out of jealousy. The male teachers need a cold shower and to refocus on the students. You have a choice to make. Either you continue to be a "good teacher" which the education system needs badly, OR you can choose to let them run you off. And, even if you didn't intend to, you sound pretty conceieted in your question. Conceit will get you discrimination.

If teachers are not teaching, ergo not doing the job they are paid hard earned taxpayer money to do, then just like any other employee (i.e. factory worker) not producing what he/she is paid to do, the teacher should be fired! Of course they have every right to an appeals process and fair representation, but as long as the school district has just cause to back up the firing, then the teacher should dfeinitely be terminated. Good luck on the essay!

I remember a teacher at a school I attended many years ago. She would fall asleep in class and was clearly... how shall I put it? Not even half as sharp as she used to be. However, she had been a decent teacher in her day, and had done her part. I think non-performing teachers should either be fired or forced into retirement. Students of that teacher and her ilk deserve better.

YES, sadly the Teachers' Union has too much power !! Remember, in California, that it was the UNION who fought against testing the TEACHERS during their career.
Back in 1980, I had an English Teacher who had BEEN terrific (20 years before)... but would not retire... she was senile... and I mean SENILE !! This woman was in her 60's and would hold converstation with her Snoopy poster or her flower vase for our entire 50 minutes of class... The school could not fire her... she had tenure.
I tried to transfer OUT of her class... but there weren't enough teachers to have open seats in another class: they'd layed-off 4 brilliant YOUNG teachers the prior year because of budget cuts.
Thankfully, she gave almost everyone an A so she didn't screw my GPA... and 5 of us in the class took over her lessons.

School administrators determine the discipline of a school. Lacking disciplinary consequences, supported by the administration, teachers have little or no control of their classroom: ergo, teachers cannot teach.
School administrators are held accountable for the number of students who attend the school, and the dollars forthcoming from Federal and State funds.
If anyone "should" be held "accountable", look to your own state legislators and congressmen.
The "No Child Left Behind Act" was a most abominable and detrimental legislation ever enacted upon the U.S. education system. I urge every parent, citizen, of the U.S. to contact your state legislators to vote against the "No Child Left Behind Act" when it comes up for renewal in two years.

Yes since theres no point of a teacher keeping their job if they aren't going to do anything to teach students. Their position should be replaced by a teacher that actually will teach something useful to the students.

Yes, why should a non-performing employee be kept in their job?
All the teachers who are against this just show how little they care for children and their education. The teachers just care about job security and their raises.

They should be hung at high noon in the cafeteria.
They can be used in the school lunches tomorrow...
