A lifestyle of supporting eachother and all students. It is unwise to have teachers "compete." Shame on you for insinuating such. Well Greg, teaching is NOT a business, it’s a lifestyle.

There isn't a problem that can't be solved apparently by funneling money from poor schools to rich schools and cutting teacher salaries, apparently.

It is just a money drain. Tenure was put in place to protect the professorial freedom to publish and research. What publishing and researching do high school teachers do?
