Florida needs to Eliminate Tenure

TALLAHASSEE, FLA -- On Monday, a House committee in Tallahassee approved a bill that would eliminate teacher tenure and would tie teachers' salaries to FCAT scores.

I agree with eliminating tenure because this is an understood, right to work state. However as to tie the teacher's performance to the FCAT, that is inherently wrong. Teachers and union officials have been outspoken in their opposition to the bill, and I concur in part.

Lawmakers contend that a merit pay system would ultimately improve Florida's education system. Not so say I.

Huh! Are they serious.

1.The system is designed to make everyone equal with no regard to student performance or IQ.

2. A child's performance is subject to intelligence, individual, style, preferences, study habits, and government intrusion.

3. The academic system does not push children pass the 4th grade.

4. I note the intentional stupification of the student that is cheated of their education by government schools.

5. The "dumb" down of many of the student body is rampant.

If This bill is about improving our students' education and incentive's effective teaching you need to make serious reforms.

Just a start teacher's need to teach civics, current events, the truth in History, the realities of Mathematics, Love of country, God and each other. Maybe then children education will thrive.

Forget pushing the sense of entitlements, dependency, and wholesale victim certification. Teach to reach out for the high bar, tie the boot strings and earn what you put into it.

Never mind cheating the teachers of their earned keep.
Yes you are right, teachers do the heavy lifting, they should be compensated for that. Change the curriculum, give teachers the right to use there first amendment rights.

Let teachers teach, that what they do Mr. John Legg. You need to sponsor bills to work on eliminating socialist government intrusion on our society...like the Federal government unconstitutional health care bill.

If the teachers pay should depend on the student's performance then politicians should be paid based on there performance. If we did that, we would close the deficit.
