Teacher Tenure needs to be eradicated ... too many bad teachers making $70 per year while districts are forced to lay off teachers who are better who make $40k per year Talk about a waste of money!! June 24, 2012 at 10:31 am |

Simple math explains why kids do bad things. " Why to minus Why not." As long as the answer is a positive number, they will do the act. Why not is simply “the probability of getting caught times the consequence.” All we need to do is pass a law that states: as long as there is occurrence of an act more often than what we agree is an acceptable level – the consequence must increase.
