Arizona:
"Governor Brewer’s education plan includes initiatives to:
...
Produce a searchable database so that every parent can research the license and any disciplinary actions taken against their children’s teachers, and reform the teacher decertification process."
I don't think I'm going into teaching.
First, where is my database to check up on the child or parents' history?
Secondly, after spending 4 plus years of life and extraordinary amounts of money to get ready to pass a States test for licensing, I'll be subject to being fired at whim... maybe because I don't drink after school with the principal.
Third, added value to a teacher is accumulated when after years of in-service, additional course work and other experiences over the duration of teaching. This is separate from seniority.
