The Teacher Unions demand: (1) No Charter Schools; (2) No School Choice; (3) No Firing Bad or Incompetent Teachers; (4) No Curriculum Review; (5) No Opposing Questions of any kind... - Clearly, Ladies and Gentlemen, the Teacher Unions need to be given "The Regan Treatment"!

CORRUPTION
Teachers days are numbered.
They're going to be replaced with $5/hour baby sitters and classrooms filled with PCs/Headsets connected to computer based learning that goes at the kids pace and tests the kid of learning every hour.
Yes, this is "exactly" what we need. Kids who have too much technology and lack of critical thinking skills - to be put in front of more technology with "teachers" that lack critical thinking skills...
Good! Teachers and their unions are going to be their own downfall.
(Yes I know some teachers are fantastic)
They shame parents who want to send their kids back to school by saying the parents only want free babysitting -- well then, what has school been prior to this?
Where are they? Why don't I hear from them? Are those so called "Good Teachers" paying union dues that in turn, give their money to BLM, a marxist organization that endorses cop killing? If they really were "Good Teachers," they'd leave the union and find a job teaching elsewhere. But they don't, why not? Too comfy with those taxpayer funded bennies? Their silence is deafening!
This is true. When I left my teaching job in the public education system, almost everyone I knew thought I was crazy. Good salary, weekends, summers, holidays off, great benefits and pension. Apparently having moral and ethical standards is crazy. I am now a full time stay at home mom, homeschooling my own kids. Our family income is half of what it would have been had I kept teaching, but life is so much better.
Everything is technology. Lights are technology. You might say kids should learn by candle light, but fire is a technology too.
What kids don't need are 'good enough' teachers who are there just to collect a paycheck.
What kids don't need is pushing forward at the same pace for all kids. Smart kids are bored, dumb kids get left behind.
Critical thinking isn't gained in schools anymore outside of Math, Physics and Philosophy.
Sounds better than communist apprenticeship.
