NEA = schools = teachers = public education. And, they wonder why folks want to get theit kids into private schools?

As you probably know, the whole public education thing is bugging me badly, GC. I got some encouragement last night from a good Chinese friend to pursue our idea of starting a Christian school here. I'd love to see parents here have a real choice about schools.

In Sunday School yesterday I was blessed to find out that one woman who is a local teacher has refused to join the NEA and its local affiliates. She gets some pressure to join once in a while, but she sees right through them. She's even in favor of school vouchers, something very rare among public school teachers.

Good Morning, SY!

I agree with you and GC6 about the NEA and public education.

Seems to me all they worry about is somr sort of quota. and not making sure the children get an education in good moral and Christian values not to mention thr three "R's".

All they're interested in is seeing how many children they can push through.
