They make outrageous demands on taxpayers to go back to their classrooms or even to continue teaching classes from the comfort of their homes.
There are plenty of accredited teachers in this world who have Internet connections. Without the personal contact between students and teachers, our kids would be better served with on-line subject experts from Germany, Kansas or Bangalore.
Are the unions going represent the best interests of teachers who have to take a job at Walmart and interact with a thousand adults a day instead of 20 kids in a school?
I'm a huge supporter of public education. The classroom experience provides critical interaction with peers where kids learn to socialize and establish community relationships. Absent that interpersonal experience, I'd rather my kids spend screen time with teachers who have real expertise in math, history, English, etc.
Fuck teachers unions. They are signing their own death warrants.
The reason you support public education is the same reason the Marxist-Communists infiltrated the teacher's unions decades ago.
No. I support public education because we can't be competitive at a global level - economically or militarily - if 3/4 of our population are illiterate and can't do simple addition without counting fingers and toes.
My support for public education has nothing to do with unions. Unions and liberal policy makers have fucked it up badly, but a public education is still essential to the well being of our country.
Without a public school education and good parenting, what would Ben Carson be doing right now?
Yes. A good public education is important. That is why the unions were taken over. So they could get at the kids and change the type of education they were getting into indoctrination instead of education. They wanted to put the children at a disadvantage and under their control psychologically. They have done this now, as we all can see.
