[quote=Anonymous]And, here is a piece of advice from an old teacher. The teachers' unions look promising, but buyer beware! It starts with a good motive, but then, as a classroom teacher, you need to pay attention to what they negotiate. You will find, as time goes on, that a lot of the negotiation goes to time off for union leaders. Then, the union starts allotting higher pay to the leaders--just look at Randi Weingarten's salary and benefits. This goes on at local levels, too. The "carrot" is that they will "protect" you. But, most of their time is spent protecting inferior teachers who make teachers look bad.[/quote]
