Twentyfive percent of NEA members in my state are registered republicans. Politics from both sides is killing education. How do you remove the politics? HOw do you bring back discipline?

Eliminate the union. It supports the left and brings in left wing policies in return. The teachers obey, and the kids become the tools to make it happen.

When the teachers union wants a pay raise, they threaten to cut back on students fun stuff like gym, art, and recess if the parents do not obey and hand over the cash.

I'd agree with that if you could also kick the parents out of education. All the my johnny wouldn't do such a thing and why didn't you give susie an A when she had an 87%; I'm going to file a lawsuit. Don't laugh, problems began when they took discipline away from teachers and gave kids & parents all the ridiculous social rights.

Most teachers belong to the NEA out of necessity for legal protection, not because they are communists. School boards & admin people today are all politicians that would rather file charges against a teacher than tell a parent for once that they are wrong.

Just a social reflection of our society in general.
