Reply #48: I'll bite -- why should teachers have tenure?

[GameChanger]

I've been around a long time to watch the decline of education in this country. In spite of the demands for teachers to get higher and higher degrees, the students are graduating with less and less skills. Go by a fast food restaurant -- the computer has to tell these kids what change to give you as they can't do the basic math!

Teachers in FL make more money than more than 80% of the tax payers in the private sector that pay the taxes that pay their salaries. Over 90% of the tax payers make less than the school administrators.

Sure we like teachers, but why should they have special job protection when the people that pay their wages don't have the same luxury? I am tired of the special interests, whether it's Wall Street or the public unions, I and many others are tired of getting the short end of the stick. Where's the fairness anymore?
