About 30,000 Los Angeles teachers and school employees are holding education hostage to demand higher pay and “smaller class sizes” – a popular phrase that equates to more dues paying union employees.
On picket lines across the district Monday, striking teachers toted protest signs in the rain as they swapped horror stories about classes with 40 or more students packed in “like sardines.” What they didn’t discuss: How the United Teachers Los Angeles union’s immigration policies contribute to overcrowded schools and its demands for more staff to handle the situatio
Demand all you want!
When the morning bell rings, - you better be in the hole!
More illegals means more butts in the classroom. That in turn, requires more teachers, more teachers means more $$ for the Unions.
Quid meet pro quo
More students -> More teachers -> More union dues -> More money for union bosses. What’s not to undersand?
I have to feel sorry for the good conservative law-abiding taxpaying citizens of California who live with the liberal destruction of their state. The liberal circus will continue until they start eating their own.
Legal Mexican Americans are already low on the food chain. They have limited....
Yet they want more illegals to come in and crowd them out of what little they have?
Eeeh Ho!
Cause AND effect? How do it work?
And these are supposed to be Teachers? LOL
Because these lefty teachers LOVE illegals, but then they b*tch about how there are too many in a classroom, well DUH that is what happens when you allow anchor babies in classrooms fully paid by US the taxpayer..they come here, don’t speak a word of English, have to be taught like babies, using tons of resources on them, and meanwhile the rest of the kids suffer
Coming to a state near you. Don’t let it happen.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
That’s like backing taking away every law abiding citizens’ guns to make us safe and then suing because a criminal with a gun shot up a bunch of us.
Most of those classrooms are filled with illegals that the taxpayers of CA are paying for.
So Calif has had Illegals in the classroom as far back as the 70’s. The teachers REFUSED to help weed them out & get them identified.
I went to school in a small Wisconsin town, with no middle school-—only the 4 year high school. There were just over 500 TOTAL students in those 4 grades.
Many of my classrooms were 36-40 students. BAND was over 80 students——
That school consistently won awards for the high levels of achievement those students attained.
The classrooms today have absolutely NO discipline. We had plenty if it was needed.
NO SYMPATHY from he.
The teaching standards for CA will be lowered and the low standard will spread across the country. The standardized testing will be fixed so CA test scores on par with the rest of the country. Then someone will come up with Common Core Part2.The ship is sinking Build the Wall. MAGA.
I was born in 1948 ...most of the years I was in elementary school our class size was at least 50 one year 55...one teacher no “aids”...
We all learnt to speak read and write ENGLISH and to dolarge sums IN OUR HEADS...(mental Arithmetic...(A Red Indian Thought He Might Eat Toffee In Church ;) )
Anyhoo its not the size of the class its the size of the class in the teacher...or something...
Consider that these so called “teachers” only manage to drag 40% of the students across the graduation line...
They have to lower the standards so that the standards appear higher.
Forty students a horror story? My first grade class had that many and we were reading within a year. She taught phonics and took no nonsense from us.
Legal immigrants from Mexico, are in no way unified behind the illegals. The takers are. The ones that go out and work hard for their families aren’t.
We have been swarmed by takers.
People money is taken from, aren’t any happier about it than you or I.
These “teachers” sure aren’t very bright. I can see why they did their own Banzai government shutdown.
Pelosi’s little brown “sparklers” need education too.
