The teachers seem to be squawking the most.
Others have posted information that the salary and benefit cost for an average Wisconsin teacher is around $100,000 per year.
Some questions we need to ask those teachers:
1. How many days do the kids go to school?
2. How many hours per school day is the teacher teaching?
3. What is the dollar per teaching hour cost?
My back of the envelope computation shows the cost is $110 per teaching hour.
The bottom line that if supposed “teachers” were doing what they are intended to be doing our nation would not be in the situation it is now and our children would have some understandings of justice, the constitution, pride in their nation instead of global guilt and would not be more concerned about what Snooki is upto and more concerned with preserving their right as a soul to breathe, enjoy freedoms and have their wealth untaxed instead of believing it is owed to anyone but fire, sanitation, police, courts and military DEFENSE and not empires.
The bottom line is just like charities most unions have become what they hate...concentrated power that takes advantage. That is why democracy is a fail always an a republic is our best hope.
The best educations need to be at home.
An alternate view:
1. A homeschooled child is in school 365 days a year - every life experience has academic value.
2. The national average for homeschoolers is about $585.00 per child per year (in addition to taxes taken from our pockets for publik skoolz).
3.A little over six and a half cents per hour.

Wisconsin has been under the heel of the teachers’ unions for far too long. The largest school district, Milwaukee, in particular, is the hostage of the teachers’ union. The union runs its own candidates for the school board. The failure of MPS is a national disgrace. The teachers in WI are a very militant group and the Milwaukee teachers, particularly so. Today, the Milwaukee teachers join the protest in Madison. (sigh)
