Ever since they both Unionized. Remember Obama’s ‘civilian security force’? I have read this will be the Police. He has confiscated all the Apache helicopters from the various State National Guards. And is giving the helicopters to the Police forces. Obama is also trying to take power away from the Sheriff Depts. They are too independent minded for this regime.
For every union contract, there are two signing parties. Teacher and police contracts are agreements signed by both the city officials and the union officials. No one ever bitches about the other side of the agreement. Instead, all the complaints go directly to the cop or the teacher.
Teachers are especially fair game this time of year because many people can't stand that they get a summer vacation. But teachers don't write the school calendar, and if the union had a hand in it, the city agreed to it!
Disclaimer: I have been a public school teacher for 17 years, after having other types of jobs including military service. Instead of just bitching about the liberals in education, I chose to become a teacher myself and try to make a difference.
If you are not happy with education in America, how about becoming a teacher yourself? How about standing in front of 30 middle schoolers and trying to get them to come along with you on a lesson or activity? It is exciting, exhausting, rewarding, frustrating, and meaningful.
We could use your help, and at the very least you would be taking the place of another liberal educrat.
