So instead of trying to do something to help defund the union and pass on the mesage to others, you will wait for the union to be gone and the government out of the education business? Not doing anything is a heckuva plan. I bet you would have advised Lech Walesa not to go on strike.

No I wish to FIRE all of the NEA yesterday.

Do they or do they not work for me? A Taxpayer? Property owner.

I'm sorry negotiation needs to start from the Weak side, I OWN this field! These are MY Children, I have home schooled and I have sent them to Government Schools, TRUST ME my kids and the Administers know what the rules are, I don't play softball.

The NEA is for the NEA, not for the Student, not for the Parent, not for Education or for Educators, what possible good would come from "negotiating" with a negative.

I'd sooner negotiate with "Tookie's" Ghost

Lech Walesa didn't have a choice and to compare the two is absolute proof that you were Government Educated.
