2011 House Bill 4627: Ban laying off more effective but less senior teachers first (“LIFO”) (House Roll Call 296)
facebook  twitter 

Passed 64 to 44 in the House on June 30, 2011, to concur with the Senate-passed version of the bill, which among other things, stripped out a provision allowing a principal to refuse to accept an assigned "ineffective" teacher, and which potentially waters-down the extent to which effectiveness ratings are based on "student acheivement".

Your public unions and how they protect bad teachers:

Five times caught being drunk on the job and three times caught with drugs and then a teacher can be fired. In the private sector, this is not tolerated. When it comes with "your" tax money to support these drunk and drugged teachers, it seems that education expenses sure is "going a long way" down a dead end street. The Unions answer is to blame the money (not enough) spent on the kids education and to raise taxes on the citizens to "correct the conditions".

Get over it! Tenure is the problem and everyone knows it but won't admit it. Bad teachers are bad and can not teach but continue to teach and get all the benefits paid for by the taxpayer. Good teachers take the rap for the bad ones who could careless. It is time to change this and to give the power to the administrators, not the unions to can these bad apples. Make Michigan a "Right to Work State" and all the problems are eliminated and competition will begin.

I cannot understand how they can lay off these teachers at all. These teachers are so important here and need to stay. I am not sure what they are thinking here. http://www.squidoo.com/steel-buildings-info
