What has teaching become in today’s world of education? … It has become a distorted and manipulated glory by so many because of one little word: Tenure. In simple terms the world tenure means “the status of holding one's position on a permanent basis without periodic contract renewals” (Dictionary.com). Because of tenure, unfit teachers are allowed to continue teaching for years after their expatriation date has passed. Although some aspects of tenure are positive, the harmful negative aspects outweigh and good. A problem occurs with tenure when it protects teachers from being released from a job that is unsuitable for them; therefore, the problem with tenure must be solved.

Not that tenure should be done away with completely — because it does offer a number of positive aspects — but nothing is ever a full-proof plan. However, the problems with tenure could be fixed. Fixing these problems would prevent unsuitable teacher from continuing their teaching career and allowing more room for good, energetic suitable teachers. A few suggestions could improve the issues prevent tenure from being a completely positive experience for all involved. First in the case of college and community college, more student evaluations should be done. Not to say that the students will decide, but they are the ones paying to take the classes—they should have a voice. Second, tenure should not be for an indefinite period of time; reevaluations should be done at least every six years. And lastly, the teachers hired solely for the purpose of research should receive a separate type of tenure and be in a different category. Once the problems, which allow bad teachers to continue teacher, are resolved, tenure would not be an awful idea.

But once a teacher has tenure what happens? A number of outcomes are possible as a result of tenure. In most circumstances the teachers continue to teacher according to the professional standards that lead to their awarding of tenure. However, in some cases harmful results occur due to tenure. Tenure does not only allow the good and proper teacher to remain, it also allows for the bad and unmotivated teacher to remain in the school system.
