Experience does not equal exposure.
A 20 year teacher in East Happy MN wouldn't last a minute in NYC.
A 20 year teacher from JFK HS would have a hard time adjusting to Bronx Science.
A professor from Teacher's College would have a hard time adjusting to teaching high school.
People often struggle to learn language in their 20s. They don't struggle when they are young. I feel similarly with regard to education, shifted up 20 years. New teachers are defeated, so if they are rewarded for their success they will never mourn the failure of the system.
Don't fire ANYONE, but certainly don't fire successful teachers at the expense of the children.
