I think Wapner was the death sentence for 77. Did Rusty the bailiff die, or is he available for a late stand against 75?
Posted by: anon ii | November 08, 2005 at 03:45 PM
I voted against 74. I can't understand why a teacher should have five years of probation. I know of no other profession with that requirement.

I voted for 74. I can't understand why a teacher should have guaranteed employment for life, barring commission of a crime. I know of no other profession with that benefit.

Do you know when tenure is earned by real professors at colleges and universities? It's generally longer than five years.
Posted by: redperegrine | November 08, 2005 at 04:34 PM
Jason that's funny, that's why I voted for 77. I can't understand why a lawmaker should have guaranteed employment for the term limit (or life, if in Congress), barring commission of a crime.
Posted by: Chuck DeVore | November 08, 2005 at 04:36 PM
Chuck. That is why I voted for Prop. 77 as well.

RP. Does teaching at the K-12 level pay as well as being a univeristy professor?
Posted by: Blog Watcher | November 08, 2005 at 04:45 PM
No, but you learn how to spell "university"...

Tenure was created for research professors to protect them from being fired for work on politically or culturally sensitive topics.
K-12 teachers are supposed to be teaching from the book. They have no need for tenure.
Yes on 74.
Posted by: MrWhipple | November 08, 2005 at 05:04 PM
Tenure dos not protect teachers jobs, poor Administrators do. One of the few jobs for life is the Supreme Court. Many teachers have been fired, and will be fired.
I would like to see eveyone have 5 years probation, let's make it a national standard.
