What most teachers really want is for parents and taxpayers to never question what they are doing , for taxpayers to always , belly up to the bar and for parents to always do as they say , how they say to do it and thank the teacher for being so wise at the same time.
Sure inner city schools districts are by and large horrible, but there are lots of kids in the burbs as well. If people don't want to teach there and try to amke a difference, then they should no taccept the job. There are thousands of things people can do. If they went into teaching because they want to have summers off, they get that at almost any school district.

ppaul:The teachers unions and administration bureaucrats will fight to protect their inflated salaries, perks, and benefits. So, parents with kids in public schools: Realize that you're already homeschooling. But we're all getting suckered by the gubbamint "school" monpoly in which we have no choice.
Lady Eileen: The NEA is just another self-centered monopoly union that is determined to protect the above-market wages of its members and their jobs at all cost. They are enemies of America and of real education and liberty in America.
But they aren't half the problem of parents content to hand over their children to be educated in a socialist system instead of insisting on the complete return of their exclusive, God-given authority and responsibility to raise their children. It doesn't "take a village" to educate a child, even if that village is called a "public school."
