RE: “When students return today for the first day of school across Wisconsin, many familiar faces will be gone, as teachers chose retirement over coming back in the wake of a new law that forces them to pay more for benefits while taking away most of their collective bargaining rights.
Documents obtained by the Associated Press under the state's open records law show that about twice as many public school teachers decided to hang it up in the first half of this year as in each of the past two full years, part of a mass exit of public employees.

Leaving because of benefit cuts?? I saw another gem played on MSNBC on this subject, Matt Damon was interviewed by a reported at a Save Our Schools March who asked him if paying(or keeping) public school teachers for performance would result in better teaching. Damon had a fit insulted her and he replied :

A teacher wants to teach. Why else would you take a sh*tty salary and really long hours and do that job unless you really love to do it?

I had liberals tell me this too. He missed the WI public school teachers shutting down the schools over their own benefits, he must have been on a movie set when that was in the news.

Yeah - there's a few like the above - VERY FEW.

Most teachers work 5 to 6 hour day, get three weeks off for Christmas, a week off for Spring Break, and a few months off for summer fun... They can't teach, resent being held accountable and have all the charm of union truck drivers.
