Sadly this seems to be the curriculum these days too so I guess it makes sense.
That is a recipe for success, right?
"Mo' money, mo' problems" right Newark?

There are usually two sides to every story. For all the evils unions do, there is the opposite side that they have done some good too. Still. Tenure keeps just as many great teachers going as pathetic ones, and getting rid of it would have just as many great teachers getting fired for no good reason as pathetic ones getting fired for good reason.
