Any teacher that works in a public school system knows it is very easy to get around tenure laws. Most commonly the principal simply refuses to rehire the teacher leaving it to the district to place the teacher. If no other school picks up the teacher, then they end up as a sub, probably the worst of all teaching jobs. In most cases the teacher just moves on. Interestingly, there are 18 states that have no or very weak tenure laws. There are loads problems in public education. Tenure is not one of them.Everywhere. There's no correlation between government spending on education and student performance. None.
That's a teacher union myth.
Name some places then. Specifically. Show us how you get better teachers by paying them less and taking away their benefits and workplace protections, etc.
Show the actual examples.
You get better teachers by taking away their guaranteed tenure so they can't do a pisspoor job and get away with it. I don't think anybody is talking about taking away teacher's benefits and workplace protections or paying them less than what they should reasonably be paid. But it does border on criminality to contribute hundreds of millions in political campaign donations to democrats who in turn give those same unions overly generous contracts. That oges for any public sector unions, their pay and benefits should be tied to whatever the private sector pays in similar occupations.
Your statement about teacher unions contributing hundreds of millions to Democrats is simply inaccurate. The total amount contributed to all political parties and candidates by teacher unions was 62 million, 2.8% of total contributions in the last presidential election year. That includes contributions to both Democrat, Republicans, and Independents.
