>I would welcome the possibility of competing for great teachers
In order to get a mix of salaries you establish a mix of experience levels. It’s possible to have high performers across experience levels. It happens every day in all sorts of businesses.
I would welcome the possibility of competing for great teachers versus our system today where we are stuck with teachers that have no economic reason to improve or even stay current outside of the union pay scale for their degrees. Communities would get to choose what they paid for the level of teacher performance they wanted in their schools.
Sure there could be disagreements within communities but eventually that would be fixed, again by simple economics. That happens every time a family decides to move out of Ridgewood to a place with lower property taxes and another family chooses to move in for great education.
You’re trying to defend the economic benefit to the community of tenure but there is none to defend. The only beneficiary of tenure is the tenured.
