[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP.  Quit whining.  Despite your breathless comment, PP wasn't saying anything about unions in general or unionized teachers across the board.  She was saying that in the specific situation of MCPS, the teachers' unions have put their own interests ahead of students' interests.  [/quote]

Isn't the point of a teachers' union to specifically advocate for the interests of the teachers? It doesn't mean that they don't care about the students, but that this is their role. The job of the school board is to balance the two.[/quote]

+1. It's called Democracy. Unions are a form of social action. The union-bashers here should start your own social action group, and, uh, quit whining....[/quote]

Actually, no. Rather than waste time trying to fix every problem created by folks with vested interests or too much time on their hands, it is much more efficient to vote with one's feet, while devoting just enough time to social action to keep taxes low so that one retains enough of one's hard earning income to have the freedom to do so.[/quote]
