Those teachers that are incompetent must be quaking in their boots. No longer will they have seniority to hide behind. They can get axed if they are poor performers. No wonder they are all enraged right now. Those among them that underperform will no longer have a place to hide. All teachers must now perform in a superior fashion or any of them will be subject to dismissal. Gee, they’ll actually have to work a little harder for their meal ticket. This is wonderful. The competition will produce the best teachers, as it should be. Rather than the lowest common denominator, it will now have to be the highest common denominator. Hope this happens all over the United States. Our school system needs radical overhaul.
Slowly but surely, the public employee unions are getting toppled.
The entire American public has hit their collective Howard Beale moment. When public employees make more and contribute less than their private sector counterparts (and I was a public employee so I know exactly what is going on — only in management so I never had bargaining unit protection) then it is time to dissolve these non value added bargaining collectives.
Let the dominoes fall - HARD. Let SEIU destroy itself in its own greed.
If you are good at what you do you don’t need a union. Unions are for the feeble-abled.
>In effect, every teacher who is terminated has to reapply for his or her job as would any new teacher entering the system.
Just think - you have to be educated in America to understand this arcane idea... geez
Teacher’s unions all across the country have overreached(just like Obamacare), and now “the chickens are coming home to roooooost”.
This is fascinating. It is something most businesses cannot do. But since teachers get the summer off, The state can literally fire them all and spend the summer re-hiring the ones they want. And since they all know their jobs, it should have no impact on the implementation of the next school year. Brilliant.
WI school districts would be wise to copy this practice. Fire them all and then rehire only the best ones (with no Union).
