This is BS and union teachers whining because they have to start teaching something of value that can be measured.

For years they have sat on their fat asses spewing Marxism and passing dummies on to the next grade without knowing anything.

After 12 years they hand the illiterates a diploma and go on vacation for 3 months.

I'd fire every public school teacher, outlaw their union, and start from scratch.

I just love it when people lump everybody into one mold.

What are your thoughts on teachers who aren't in unions?

I'm not a teacher...but it's obvious to me that you aren't either.

There isn't enough money in a school district for me to be a teacher. I would be in the pen for murder before the end of the first semester.

It always amazes me that people who have never spent a day as a teacher think they understand the ills of public education and know all the answers when most don't understand squat.
