[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looks like our so called union is a big fail for teachers. Our Superintendent owns the union and she tells them what to do.[/quote]

Hilarious. They got everything they asked for in their first contract, with the exception of 1% of the salary increase. You’re a clown[/quote]

This came at a price. There are currently hundreds of school-based instructional positions being cut to balance the budget. Destaff letters are still being sent out. Not sure I would call this a win. [/quote]

+1. I'm being destaffed. Even though I'm arguably a better teacher than others in my dept (based on test scores and student opinions), I'm getting cut because I have only 9 years in the county vs over 15 for the other teachers. They care about seniority rather than effectiveness. Unions are selfish entities that haven't been relevant since the 1950s. [/quote]

You might consider getting in on the rise of homeschooling.  Great teachers can be hired by co-ops or a business providing supplemental classes after school.  You can even start your own thing (rent a classroom in a church basement or rec center, or outfit a space in your home.)  Once word of mouth spreads you will be booked solid.

Make your own hours and calendar, and no admin/school board twisting your arm to use curriculum/methods that are inferior.

Best wishes.[/quote]
