Coincidentally, a friend of mine from U of I was let go of her job in L.A. due to budget cuts. A columnist for the L.A. Times wrote a story about it. Here it is.

It's a quick read and doesn't necessarily reflect my views on teacher performance and tenure. But, I want to direct your attention to the comments section of the column. People have some very definite opinions on tenure and its place in education. I point this out to illustrate the complexity that this issue has professionally and politically.
