where do you think administrators come from?
They are former teachers.
They are asked to manage an unmanageable bunch without the power of rewarding excellence, or firing poor teachers.
Teachers unions “are” the teachers.
They're not teachers...they're "educators".
You just watch them for a while and you'll get a great education on the "education" industry and what a load of crap it is.
They “were” the teachers, I agree. But their hearts were for power and bennies, NOT the children. They are sellouts for comfort. (and they weren’t good teachers to begin with - you can spot them a mile away!) The teachers I know despise that type.
