A bill was passed Wednesday March 30th, 2011 that increases the per-pupil payments to public schools, but also includes major changes in the way schools operate ending the current teacher tenure system, and banning teacher strikes.
I think that this bill is a move in the right direction for education. A per-pupil increase is needed across the state of
Minnesota in most school districts. In addition, I think that ending teacher tenure will benefit education in the end. Even though I am going to be a future teacher, I do not agree with the current system. I believe that the administration should be able to fire a teacher that does not do a good job. That kind of protection harms the children, other teachers, and the district as a whole. I do not think a bad teacher should be able to hide behind a teacher's union contract.
