Answer to Question 1

ANSWER: Tenure provides job security by preventing teachers from being dismissed without cause and by requiring that due process be followed in termination cases. The causes for which a tenured teacher can be dismissed include incompetence, immorality, insubordination, and unprofessional conduct. Answers could include a discussion of the due process procedures and illustrations of each of these causes for dismissal.

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER: Opponents maintain that educational vouchers would lead to increased segregation of low-income, minority, and low-ability students. Critics also claim that public and private schools would be split along socioeconomic lines and that public schools would have reduced financial support.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
