Tenure is a pretty sticky issue, for sure. Once you got it, even murder might not get you fired. How many actually get tenure though? Tenure isn't something a junior or high school teacher gets here.
It's a vicious circle. Teachers get ridden for the decline of the educational system, which demotivates them to make any improvements. They're rated on ridiculous testing standards, that are supposed to rate how well they teach the students, so they only teach the students how to write the tests.
