Contrary to the belief of many people, tenured teachers can be fired...as a former Superintendent of Schools, I have done it a number of times.
i remember having a teacher who went off the deep end when his wife died and they had to can his ass cause he was just getting too creepy. he had tenure. i say fire them, but only after making them do a tedious amount of shit like they probably made their students do
