Continuation of the paper...

In the school system now, although having great teachers that do great things, and are involved in their student’s lives, there are the others that lack the motivation, the time, and even the talent that is necessary to be not only good but a great teacher.    
            This view on tenure however isn’t widely accepted.   In the article, “Superintendent Staying Power,” it states how, “It found a positive correlation between longevity and academic achievement. District leaders who focus on the right goals, manage change effectively and stick around long enough to see results tend to have higher-performing students” (Pascopella).  Although understanding how having a teacher or superintendent stay in a school, adjust, and then try to make changes, this is not the pattern that is apparent.
