If tenure is such a great thing, why don't other specific types of jobs do the same thing?
BTW -- I am not speaking about unions, although teachers are a union.

Actually, there IS another job that has tenure like that, but with much better pay, insurance benefits, and pension available sooner for fewer years served.
Like teachers, these people WE hire often get stale and unresponsive/unaccountable, too……..
