You can always count on the California Teachers Unions to win all the stupid contests. Must be their arrogance, greed and selfishness that drives them to victory every time.

I’m tired of teachers making more in take-home income and benefits and only working a 10 month or less work/year while I have to exist on 75% pay because there isn’t enough to pay me full time. I have to pay over 50%-75% of my health insurance, over $10,000 a year, haven’t had a real vacation in 15 years, no real raise in over 3 years, and only get partial holiday pay, among other things.

I have to work two parttime jobs to keep our heads above water, with a disabled wife, I’m partially disabled according to the state, have a car with 198,000 miles on it, and am paying a mortgage and second mortgage.

Sorry, teachers. I respect your job but you’re too greedy and your teachers unions are nothing but a bunch of greedy leftists.

Get back in the school room and teach. That is your job, not marching with a bunch of know-nothing kids you once taught nothing.

You have a whole new generation of young children whose minds you can mess up with your leftist ideology, faux science re global warming, your don’t salute the American flag because it might offense some jihadist camel-screwer somewhere, and your “Eat your Greens” because it will save the planet and bring back the dinosaurs.

To the minority of teachers who really care about teaching our children, thanks. It is appreciated. All you need now to get back into reality is an inquisition of the NEA and its affiliates, the leftist dominated school boards, and most of your politicians, esp. those in California.

A “purge” will no longer cure what ails your profession.

PS: I was married to a good teacher and my present wife of 38 years is now teaching my granddaughter how to play the piano, how to read (she’s been reading and speaking at a 2nd-3rd grade level since she was in Kindergarten), and speaks three languages (English, German and Hebrew). She can also name and describe 30 species of dinosaurs, many species of spiders, snakes, sharks, fossils (found some) and all of the types of cloud formations.

Books, lots of books, plus a loving mother, grandmother and grandfather, who spend time with her instead of watching TV or playing video games (OK, we watch Spongebob Square Pants and the Three Stooges, together).

A child’s mind is a terrible thing to waste, and the NEA and teachers unions are doing their best to waste it.

THIS HAS GOT TO STOP!!!

Excuse me, but wasn’t it Taxifornia that recently built a $578,000,000 school? Schools are short a lot of things. Mondy isn’t one of them.
