Here's one from the Wall Street Journal (got the link from The Huffington Post): http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704681904576317572249366988.html Illinois Overhaul of Schools Gains, Despite Turmoil CHICAGO—Legislation that would make it easier to dismiss ineffective teachers statewide and allow mayor-elect Rahm Emanuel to lengthen the Chicago school day unanimously passed an Illinois House committee Wednesday, despite objections by the Chicago Teachers Union. |

7 years instead of 4 years for Tenure sounds reasonable to me. |

10 years is even better... no tenure or tenure with restrictions at all is best. Don't forget the teacher who threatened to kill the principal and got off with a hefty sum of money to retire on. |
