[QUOTE="SpartaChris, post: 357974, member: 1007"] I disagree, and I'm not a drop out. Our educational system needs a complete overhaul, teachers included. And yes, teachers SHOULD be included in any and all cuts. There's no reason why everyone but them should have to make cuts and sacrifices. Want to fix education and increase standards? Start by eliminating teacher tenure. There's no reason why having tenure should give you immunity from A) Having to do your job well, and B) From being fired if you don't meet expectations. I mean, everyone else is subject to performance reviews, why shouldn't teachers? Just ending teacher tenure and making it easier to fire bad teachers will raise the performance in the classroom. Next, do a complete and full audit of the money being thrown at the education system and make sure it's getting to the actual classroom, rather than being wasted on things like $200 Million for teachers who shouldn't be on the payroll, $100 Million on a payroll system with more bugs than a hooker in Tijuana, and a $585 Million school: [url=http://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/LAUSD-Paid-200M-on-Unnecessary-Salaries-Audit-81233092.html]LAUSD Paid $200M on Unnecessary Salaries: Audit | NBC Los Angeles[/url] [url=http://www.flashreport.org/blog.php?postID=2007091015564279]Waste Watch - LAUSD Now Failing Employees (and Students) - FlashReport - Presented by Jon Fleischman[/url] [url=http://harvinmoore.com/a-585-million-monument-to-dysfunction-la-opens-its-newest-school/]A $585 Million Monument to Dysfunction – LA Opens its Newest School | The Transformation Times[/url] While you're at it, look into the books of the school administration and figure out how many unnecessary assistants and secretary's and other administrators can be let go.
