    To the same extent that the typical taxpayer paying said teacher gets on 
his job, which in this state is "employment at will" (meaning your employer 
can fire you for any reason other than racial discrimination, sexual 
discrimination, ethnic discrimination, truthfully reporting workplace 
violations, etc.).
    Employers, other than the very few unionized ones in this state, can fire 
workers for any reason at all or no stated reason unless it's discrimination 
or retaliating for employee turning them in for lawbreaking. Public-school 
teachers seem the only exception!

    Yes, but I sure don't believe tenure (as developed in this state's case 
law) provides the best quality teachers!
