Look, most don’t know their child’s teacher very well, in this fast lane world, and given the text book arguements there is a lack of trust in handing over precious cargo to socialist educators, so teachers start out suspect before the first bell. Who are they? Are they feminist, girl centered, no recess for the boys, cultural liberals or what?
Begging for fairness is legitimate, and I agree that teachers get a bad rap, but they must reveal themselves to parents, or recede into the classroom and their union will represent them. That’s not good. That’s bad. I hope you are a good teacher, and let it be known without bringing down the wrath of your union.
Oh, I'm not a teacher -- I could not handle the bureaucracy. Or the salary.
My state technically does not have a union .... just Democrats running everything, which is usually just as bad.
