The Syracuse Teachers Association union on Friday filed a complaint that has effectively ended the extra classes taught by five math and English teachers and a special education instructor...

I'm sure the teacher's union was only thinking of the children. (/sarcasm)

I have relatives that live in Syracuse and they say nothing was mentioned about this on the local tv news, although a article was carried about it in the local newspaper.

They are all wound up about the mayorial campaign.

Another good reason why vouchers should be provided to parents to get out of the money grubbing teachers union grasp.

Good point, ubut in this case they aren't even thinking of the teachers... this was done voluntarily. They wanted to do this so badly that they were doing it for free... and our beloved unions have stepped in to make sure we don't accidentally get any teaching done.

Defang the stupid teacher's unions. They don't answer to anyone, and only make matters worse. They keep crummy teachers in their jobs, they keep teachers from working hard, they apparently keep teachers from volunteering for extra tutoring, they stifle competition, they take money from teachers to use illegally in election campaigns... (I'll think of ten more in a few minutes)
