I hate the teachers’ union even more than you do — because both my parents were teachers, so I know how awful the union is from a teacher’s perspective —
I do want you & everyon else to know that teachers work many, many hours for free when they’re not at school — they stay up late grading papers, they spend weekends doing the elaborate lesson plans that the administrations require,and making tests and exams — they put a lot of private time into tutoring and counseling students.
If students get only three hours a day of real instruction, don’t blame the teachers — they don’t get to design the curriculum. Blame the asini administrators (all the teachers hate them) who keep dumbing everything down.
No one is holding a gun to any teachers’ head.
Teachers **willing** agree to make the schools what they are. They do it in exchange for a freely offered and freely accepted paycheck!
If schools are the way they are, teachers **willing** agree to do it in exchange for MONEY!
