I would confidently put up the education-centricity of my family and friends against anyone's. My point is only that there is a large (and growing) contingent of teachers who have grown up with awareness of many education paradigms outside of the traditional public school/tenure system, and who as thinking people who care about their work realize that the old system has shortcomings. Tenure protectionism is no longer the immutable article of faith you make it out to be, and to me that is the first step toward making the changes that you are apparently sure will "never happen."
