Get rid of unions and the teaching profession might start getting some respect.
Unions operate on the theory that all are equal within a classification. Meet the laughably low minimum standard and you are equal to the best the group has to offer.
Well, even the teachers themselves will admit there are some worthless incompetent slugs within the group.
Yet they whine like a 2 year old when you treat them all the same, just like the union demands. By protecting the lazy slugs all teachers in the union are reduced to that same level.
Good teachers don’t need tenure, or a union. If they want to be judged on individual merit they have to dump the union. Until that happens they are all the turd in the punch bowl.
Well put; apparently they feel entitled to benefits normally reserved for Supreme Court justices and popes...
