If the bill passes, tenure will be a thing of the past once current teachers retire or leave their current positions.
SB 408 says that no teacher hired after Aug. 28, 2013, (the day the bill would go into effect) would be eligible for tenure.
Emery's omnibus bill also includes the following;
-Giving all school districts grade cards, rating them A, B, C, D, or F
-A grading system must be put in place for teachers, with most of their grade determined by student test scores
-Districts must adopt pay schedules that do not use advanced degrees or experience as factors
-Districts can pay more to those who teach math, science or special education
-When schools have to eliminate faculty due to budget problems, number of years served in the school district cannot be used as a factor.
Emery has made it clear time after time that he has no use for public schools or teachers. During a December speech at the True Charity Initiative Leadership Forum in Joplin, Emery, a member of the Senate Education Committee, ripped into public education and its teachers, claiming they have indoctrinated three generations of Missouri children.
"We have to take back the minds of children from the government," Emery said.
"We no longer have public schools, we have government schools. We have government-paid teachers, a government-made curriculum, and government supplied buildings."
"For three generations, we have allowed the absolutes of religion, patriotism, and family to be removed in favor of tolerance and openmindedness."
This is being done, Emery said, because teachers want to be liked and trusted by their students, so they are not teaching the children, as they should, that the "one size fits all socialist government" (represented by public school teachers) should not be trusted.
Emery has also said that public education is "slavery" and a "pipeline to prison."
