Will this be a "certified dumb enough for school use during tests" device?
I don't think this is actually a leak. The units were on display at the TI booth at a math teacher conference this past week. What I've heard is that they will have a "Press-To-Test" feature, and so will be able to be hobbled for ACT and state tests that require dumb calculators.

..., in California, a teacher gets tenure after two years. How do you fire a bad teacher after that?
Your question does not follow from your premise. After a teacher has tenure, the termination process is fairly simple, as with almost any employee working under a contract. The employer (school district in this case) simply has to document the ways in which the employee is failing to live up to the contract, and they terminate him. Or her. Tenure is not, and has never been, a guarantee of lifetime employment. Tenure is simply a promise of due process. Nothing more.
