Of all people, teachers should have job security. I have spent the last 5 years teaching on and off because of, what I consider to be, a volatile time in Education. Politics plays such an overwhelming role in educational systems now that teachers have just become numbers or names on disposable "contracts" with no regard to the disconnects constantly created by such circumstances. Education rhetoric, which now includes every transparent issue and policy making in the Politics of Education has now grown to such a monster size that students are completely overshadowed. Let's try, for the sake of our children's future, to remember the most important set of standards for succeeding at providing quality education. Put the children first, keep good teachers, keep class sizes down, and money should not be an issue! Education is the backbone for all mankind.
