[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Salaries wouldn't grow (already lower than private sector, yes, even when you include summers, etc., off);
The excellent benefits, which were traded for lower salaries, would slowly diminish;
Professional development, already marginal, would become non-existant;
Very few bright people would go into teaching;
Many excellent tea here would leave for greener pastures.

That last one is the kicker, because it's the great benefits that keep many in the profession.  That goes, and you will see teachers leaving in droves.  And then the public schools will dramatically decrease in value (they are supposed to be the great equalizer), and anyone who can afford it will send kids to private.  That will leave the public schools in even more of a disastrous situation.  Oh but wait, that's what the GOP wants, everyone for themself, sticking up for them self only, instead of looking out for one another.  The government is supposed to do what individuals cannot, for the greater good.  Who does it serve to completely sink public schools?[/quote]

This is what DeVos doesn’t want parents to realize.[/quote]

Actually, I am a Democrat and I don't believe in the Union.  I think the greater good would be better served without it.  The Union is dysfunctional and is like a dog with his tail between his legs anytime it tries to stand up for something important.  It keeps the profession stuck in mediocracy.

If the Union is so great, then why are salaries so low?  Benefits???  We have crap for benefits.  I had a coworker who could not use his right hand and the MCPS insurance company denied the MRI the orthopedic doctor was ordering.

As far as being like PG County, with the grade fixing and washing down the curriculum - we are already there.[/quote]
