How To Help Destroy Teachers' Unions (Vanity)
My Fertile Brain ^ | 03/13/2010 | Uncle Miltie

Posted on 03/13/2011 11:00:47 PM PDT by Uncle Miltie

Here's one way to help destroy Teachers' Unions:

1) Start a YouTube Channel: "Worst Teacher in America."

2) Let kids post surreptitious videos of their teacher's horrible skills.

3) Let people vote on "Worst Teacher."

4) Track "Worst Teacher" listings by State, District, and School.

5) After a year of postings and voting, award the "Worst Teacher in America" a full retirement from the Rose and Milton Friedman Foundation if they agree to never enter a school again.

Maybe we can shame bad teachers out of the profession.

I've pinged Breitbart, since those guys have done well with ACORN, Planned Parenthood, etc. I'll ping the Friedman Foundation next.

Is anyone else out there technically competent to get this ball rolling, even without the retirement plan? We could have a cabal of FReepers manage the YouTube channel.

What say you, brothers and sisters? Can we do some damage?

3. Worst administrator. Find the principle that hasn’t returned referral sheets,...

So you're a teacher, huh?

I take it that you are some type of teacher.

On top of all that you wrote the phrase “...Find the principle that hasn’t returned referral sheets” seems to demonstrate the height of your teaching of the English language. The correct spelling is “Principal”...not principle.

"2. Worst Private Contractor. We could highlight the companies that are supposed to do out side (sic) contract work for the district and screw it up."

Perhaps you could use some "out side" English instruction.

"Last but not least a special award to all the lazy armchair QB’s thinking they could do a better job."

Plural, possessive, plural, geez. This English thingie is so hard for Teecherz.

"Find the principle (sic) that hasn’t returned referral sheets, or dealt bulling (sic) or harassment complaints."

Do you work in Spain and teach bullfighting? Or did you mean "bullying," but couldn't spell correctly?

"6. Student arrested (sic) achievement award."

This could go one of several ways. However, if you meant how often the student is arrested, then the proper English would be:

"6. Student arrest achievement award."

But under your grand tutelage, perhaps their student-hood is "arrested."

"# of swear words thrown (awkward) at a teacher."

Do they write the swear words on blocks of wood before hurling them? My high school English teacher would have red-lined "thrown."

"7. The porn awards going to the student with the highest amount of sexting in a month."

Gee, one behavior ("sexting") generates multiple "awards" for one "student"? You are a generous soul, if unclear about plurals again.

"Lowest test score, lowest attendance, lowest amount of homework returned, and highest # of swear words thrown at a teacher."

Class, please find the subject of this sentence.

"8. A special mention for parents that (sic) have two or more students achieve one of these awards."

You certainly are a dehumanizing fellow. Usually, when referring to a person, the following pronoun is "who".

"Step on up and do better."

It appears I have done better without trying very hard by destroying a single post of yours.

Ladies and Gentlemen: We have our first contestant for "Worst Teacher in America," and he or she is Martel1971.

We'll start with Mr. / Mrs. / Miss Martel1971 in First Place, and see who can beat him or her.

Reforming schools is fine. Destroying the Teachers’ Unions would be my proper objective.

As in Wisconsin and with any government anywhere, I do not believe the workers should be allowed collective bargaining rights or a Union.

Public Choice theory shows that governments become captives of interest groups they regulate. I think the same theory holds here; Public Employee Unions spend all their money dominating the Government to the detriment of Taxpayers.

Do you support the tachers union? Or does what they do make no difference to you? This is about a union that propagandizes against America. This is about teachers who do not know grammar or math teaching either or both. This is about teachers substituting American history and world history with damned lying history. This is about teachers who do not know much, if anything, about the US Constitution. This is about teachers who promote global warming and envirowhacko fantasies to young minds to create a constituency for a lie and insidiously nudging them into communism....not to mention scaring little kids to death.
This is about teachers who promote the gay agenda to innocent children in the classrooms.

And as for all the things you mentioned, had teachers NOT promoted a sexual agenda, a far left liberal agenda, a gay agenda, since these kids first stepped into their classrooms, maybe we wouldn’t see all these “problems” you posted.

Get together with likeminded people and homeschool... thus rendering “professional” teachers irrelevant.
When I was in college, the students with the worst grades in every one of my classes were either those with education or nursing majors. It was downright scary.
One of my elective classes was Biblical History and the prof asked us to read out loud. Not one of them could get through a passage in the Bible without needing help.
Imagine what it was like in my Genetics class. When a professor grades on a curve so that teaching students and nursing students can barely pass, we are in trouble.

Pick up a copy of “The Cartel” and spread it around to everyone you know. It is a well done expose’ on public education.

There is no need to destroy the teachers union, or any other union. Changing union leadership I would agree with. Making States like Michigan, etc “Right to Work” States I would also agree with but once you do away with unions, the next step will be to rediscover why unions were created in the first place.

“I like the idea but something I’ve learned in my years is that you cannot shame the shameless.

Some people just don’t care.”

Absolutely true. Just watch the documentary film “Waiting For Superman” to confirm this deplorable situation. The NEA must be busted, but unfortunately I don’t think that a “Shame” approach will do much.
