Watching the Tiger game today and head the comment that with every win Justin Verlander gets, Mike Ilitch clutches his wallet a little tighter. LOL

You pay for that kind of performance or you lose it. Few teachers can achieve that kind of success but they would have a far better chance without their union. Teachers should be contractors and they’ll get paid what they’re worth.

Good point, and what the teachers don’t understand, and this really demonstrates how out of touch with the real world they are, is that while they fight school choice tooth and nail, it is school choice that would do for teachers what free agency did for pro athletes.

They should think about that. And tell their union to GTH.

I walk to work and then back home, past the local high school. Generally speaking, I am not sure when the teachers work. I don’t see any cars in the lot on my way in or on my way home. Then when I consider their number of days off, well I figure they work about 60% of the typical professional.

If the average white collar wage in MI is $75K-90K, then the teachers are only working enough to earn $45K-54K. From what I hear, they should be taking pay cuts.....
