Teachers
Unions and tenure have been beneficial. They provide safe working conditions
and job security. I do, however, believe that reform is necessary. Tenure
sometimes protects the wrong teachers just because of seniority. These teachers
are sometimes not up to date with the technology and refuse to change their
teaching methods. I think as teachers, it is important to constantly be
learning more and using new technology within the classroom. It is also important
for teachers to be flexible and try new lesson plans so that students do not
get bored. Overall, tenure and teachers unions are beneficial, but need to
undergo some change.
Bre, I definitely agree with you on what you have said. It is important that us as future teachers, and current teachers now to be knowledgable on what they are teaching to students. We should not have competition with our students on technology, instead we should be right with them on the same path.
