my not really paid teachers who were nuns did a better job than almost all teachers today...
it probably could be proven that the old timey teachers...the ones before the trivial "education" degrees were required...brought the educational level of all their students up substantially in every single way....
they literally helped lead to the greatest expanse of scientific and literary and economic and industrial output in the world in the late 1800's and on...
not so much anymore...
infact it can be said that our intellectual standards have fallen demonstratively since the NEA and their crew of teacher bots have taken over...
My teachers made sure I learned something,they didn’t give a damn about unions.
I could not agree more, raised and educated in small-town USA.
Collective bargaining had its start with the Wagner Act of 1935, later amended by Taft-Hartley in 1947. With a booming economy about to really take off, it is a job market for excellent workers. They do not need Unions.
