- Teacher tenure has become a debated topic in the field of education. Over two million teachers nationwide have job protection through tenure. Advocates of tenure contend that it safeguards educators from being dismissed for personal or political reasons and keeps experienced teachers from being replaced by newer teachers. Challengers of tenure argue that it creates a system in which poor teachers cannot be replaced and the schools retain complacent teachers. Some opponents of tenure even contest that tenure is not necessary due to recent legislation that protects teachers.
