Demanding Results

Slowly, the public sector will have no choice but to demand better results in education. Not just in North Carolina but across the continent. 

One of the ways, like in the private sector, is to fire bad teachers. Right now, it's impossible to get rid of one. My wife is a teacher and concedes that this is indeed a problem. Some teachers have no business being one. 

“We need to move to a situation where we provide the best teachers the security of multi-year contracts” and provide principals the means to remove ineffective teachers from classrooms, Senate leader Phil Berger, a Republican, told The News & Observer of Raleigh earlier this month.
But opponents fear the new rules will promote rapid teacher turnover.

It’s going to create a revolving door for public educators in North Carolina,” said Rodney Ellis, president of the North Carolina Association of Educators."

On the way to getting better teachers I would add. I don't see a problem here.

I face the same issues. I get rid of bad educators all the time. Yes, there's turnover and parents don't like it but guess what? We hate it more. Nobody likes instability. However,  we wouldn't be responsible to our parents and children by keeping an educator not meeting our standards.
