Provisional Educator Law Unfair

It is wrong that a principal can end the career of a teacher in their first three years of teaching without any reason. Many principals give new teachers support and are fair in evaluating and remediating teachers. Some, though, misuse the law to get rid of someone who is "not a good fit'. I ams sick of that excuse. Do your job, hire good teachers, check references, do your evaluations and then follow the contract and give them support. I keep hearing that the districts want their teachers to succeed, but in some cases principals and districts get rid of teachers because of personality conflicts. UEA needs to change the law that basically gives provisional teachers zero due process rights. Even criminals get that... Rick (upset in Dallas)
