Tenure seems to be a topic on the tip of many tongues lately. Everyone seems to have an opinion about this controversial subject. It can be difficult to know what to say when you encounter someone with a strongly held opinion one way or the other,. 

With that in mind, here is a list of pros and cons in the teacher tenure debate. Hopefully, you’ll feel more comfortable discussing this complex issue with others.

I thought college was going to provide me with everything I needed to know on how to be a good teacher. Once I got my first teaching job, I realized that I had very little idea of what it meant to really be a teacher.

There are many things I didn't learn in college but I am not so sure you can. Teaching has to be experienced to be learned, not just read about, discussed and debated. I wish I had been taught that in college.
