PP here.  And, no, I'm not opposed to "unions".  I think they can be very beneficial, so long as their interests and the interests of those served can be aligned.  Once the union loses sight of the long-term viability of the profession, yes, it's time to rein them in.[/quote]

So, both you and the other poster have what you believe to be well-reasoned positions in opposition to teacher's unions. Yet, you stand by your position that anyone opposed to Rhee is a "hater".  You don't seem to realize this is not an issue of the validity of your position. It is an issue of why you won't recognize the validity of a differing position.

From the first time I heard Rhee's name (in the Washington Post, just like everyone else), I researched her past and her experience. I found plenty about which to be critical. As a result, I've been critical. I can point to pages and pages of detailed research. I can even show you Jay Mathews' article in which he agrees that I scooped him by more than three years with evidence that Rhee exaggerated her test score claims. But, all of it is repeatedly ignored by someone whose entire argument is that I am a hater.

Jeff, what are you talking about?  I'm the PP who posted the link re/ the corruption and graft of the Wisconsin Teacher's Union's collective bargaining and how they bilked hundreds of millions of dollars from Wisconsin  taxpayers.

I never said anyone who's opposed to Rhee is a "hater."  I prefaced my statement by saying I'm no fan of hers.  In fact, it was [u]you[/u] who called [u]me[/u] a "hater" simply because I said I wasn't automatically opposed to Republicans who break up corrupt unions.  Which the Wisconsin Teacher's Union was.
