Considering the crap they teach in government schools, the kids would be better off if they shut down.

I totally agree with the idea of subsidized housing for poor kids to help them go to school.

JUST MAKE THE UNION MEMBERS PAY FOR IT OUT OF THEIR OWN POCKETS!!!!!!!!

I bet my idea is DOA. Screw the Teacher’s Union!!!!

I’ve lived in two neighborhoods with subsidized housing. Guess which were the problem neighbors. Yep. Problems included having a relative who just got out of prison staying with them. (One raped his teenage niece. The other was a robber. Since he had no car, he started with the house next door and worked his way down the street, house by house. Then, he robbed the other next-door neighbor, a black sheriff who caught the black robber and (according to the robber’s brother) “beat the f&%^king snot out of him.”) Other problem neighbors got on the HOA board and initiated lawsuits because if you have thirty or forty thousand dollars that’s a lot of power. The money was supposed to be used to repave the road. But it was so much more fun to sue everyone who was not in subsidized housing.

Shut the district down and give parents vouchers representing each student’s share of 100% of the public financing from the locality, the state and the federal gubernaught.

Given that we could train a real teacher (not an eddikator) in around one year of a REAL college, get rid of those worthless eddikashon major t*rds, and hire some retired teachers (who actually knew things). We can then slowly transition the children from idiocy to excellence as we dispose (in every definition one can think of) of the woke joke crowd.

The teachers unions thinks they are the masters and we are their slaves.

It is a great racket if you can get away with it.

Unfortunately for Portland teachers most of the slaves escaped.

Serious.

now that remote learning and learning via Zoom has been established.

Why can’t they essentially do a centralized, best of the best teaching model?

One teacher for thousands of students. the best English, math, science etc.

Have inline or centralized tests.

And actually INCREASE the level of teaching learning. While also closing down and elimitating staff? And dramatically reducing overhead?

Keep the sports and communal facilities only for Gym, Sports, Science labs, Music etc.

These idiots opened the flood gates.

And l though the latest UAW demands were audacious. They are demanding the school system to provide housing and act as liberal activists. Portland is a circus

Lock up the schools. Discontinue any paychecks to the striking teachers. Encourage private schools to provide education to children whose parents are will to pay for the school. Terminate tax collections earmarked for schools to put that money back in the parent's pocket. The unions are demanding things that were never intended to be financed by taxpayer funded public schools. Cut them off.

So the teachers are planning to go on strike related to political issues and decisions that have nothing to do with their jobs or benefits? Good one.
