Tenure

schools, and teacher tenure, all of which are contributing factors to the plummeting education system. Focusing in on teacher performance, teacher tenure is an agreement under union contract that secures a teacher’s job for life after meeting specific expectations for an allotted amount of time. The documentary details how quickly teachers can qualify for tenure, the inability to reprimand low performing teachers under tenure policy, and how negligent teachers protected by tenure can negatively…

movement spiked in the early 1920s, so did teacher tenure. It began as protection for women, who had potential to be fired, just for an announced pregnancy. The movement gained traction when rules were enforced by administration, that put control over what hours teachers…

justices should not be able to uphold duties for lifelong tenures since it will lead to despotic, mentally unable leaders operating under personal political agendas who cannot be removed unless convicted of a high crime as prescribed in the…

Is in stake due to the fact that our population is fast urbanizing and fast doing away with tribal customs and traditions. But it is increasingly becoming apparent that we cannot have customary land tenure system in urban areas in Tanzania. The case law on this is abound and the provision on restricting customary right of occupancy to village land (S.14 of Act No. 5) further reinforces this argument. The Village Land Act No. 5 of 1999…

NNTFs serve in unreliable, unsupported positions with little employment stability and assurances for academic freedom (American Academy of University Professors [AAUP], n.d). Nationwide, 70% of faculty members in higher education are employed off the tenure-track (Reevy & Deason, 2014). The NTT Faculty ranks vary, with the majority remaining in the instructor or lecturer category (Baldwin & Chronister, 1996). In addition,…

In the eighteenth century, Americans fought a Revolutionary war against inequalities set forth by the British. Again in the nineteenth century Americans fought a civil war against the inequalities for African Americans. Built on the foundation of continuous wars, America set a precedent of fighting against inequalities; however during the twenty-first century Americans have forfeited the war against inequality. Prominent through the education of children, inequalities are detrimental to…

Einstein stated, “the most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible.” In 1928, a clique of physicists in Denmark formed a group known as the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics. The group stated that elementary particles possess a fundamentally indeterminate nature. In disagreement, Einstein responded to the claim with, “God does not play dice.” Niels Bohr, a physicists among to group retorted, “Albert, stop telling God what to do.” In 1939, German…

schools are cheating due to high pressure to get good grades, bad neighborhoods creating bad schools and vice versa, and the common core system is too vague and broad for the teachers. One of the more troubling issues today is the teachers union and tenure causing teachers to become complacent and lazy. The American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association are the two main figures for education politics. These unions are designed to protect all teachers from getting fired…

If life tenure is such a good idea, as it would eliminate the above mentioned problems, then why are so many in opposition of term limits and shuns the proposals? They value judicial independence, and they all have forms of accountability and term limits, so what are the reasons for their views and objections about cutting life tenure? Making term limits would not make the stakes any less important or productive. The Supreme Court is supposed to be immune from democracy’s demands; term…

While playing sports there is always a high risk of injuries, but that still doesn’t stop athletes from playing in games and getting paid. About thirty million teenagers and children play in sports, this increases the statistics about injuries in young athletes. When professional athletes train, practice or even when they play they are risking an injury. Getting hurt has always been part of playing sports but injuries are now more important than at any time in sports history. Professional…
