re: Personnel is Policy: To fix education, we have to fix the policies that protect teachers

The idea of tenure was created to protect higher education professors from being fired if their superiors disagreed with their research. Its being used to protect these liberal progressives that have taken over our schools.

Historically, K-12 tenure was created in Ohio to settle salary disputes. IE, 'We don't have the money to give you a raise but we'll give you tenure if you call off the strike.'
Other states followed suit because they didn't want to go to taxpayers to raise teacher salaries

What I would suggest is to unravel that. Offer teachers increased pay if they will waive tenure and freeze teacher salaries for those who wish to retain tenure.
