"Tenure removes accountability that might otherwise exist. Problem w unions is u can't reward the best/get rid of worst."

Con
"On education, it is time to have school choice, merit pay for teachers, and to end the tenure policies that hurt good teachers and reward bad teachers. We are going to put students and parents first."

Not Clearly Pro or Con
"A lot of what has happened and honestly it really pains me, a lot of people have been blaming and scape-goating teachers because they don't want to put the money into the schools system that deserve the support that comes from the government doing its job... You know, teachers do so much good, they are often working under most difficult circumstances. So anything that could be changed, I want them to look at it. I will be a good partner to make sure that whatever I can do as president, I will do to support the teachers of our country."

Not Clearly Pro or Con
"Evaluate teacher performance through assessments by fellow professionals. Do not rely on high-stakes tests that reflect economic status of the community, and punish teachers working in low-income communities of color."
