[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, what a stupid move by the union.  Voting to go on strike for two weeks.  What the heck were they thinking.[/quote]

"me me me"

Is that not obvious?

It's interesting that you say that.  While I do not support this move, I understand their position.  Teachers in America have been vilified by the right for decades now.  Teaching used to be a respected well paid career. Now, parents go to school board meetings to disparage them.  I hope teachers protest across the country.[/quote]

Teaching may have been respected, but it's never been a well paid career.[/quote]

Educate yourself on the reasons why. There’s a good documentary on this called Waiting for Superman. The short version is that DC tried to pay high performing teachers more but the union refused to allow it. They said that everyone needs to be paid the same, including the people in a rubber room because they’re so bad that they’re kept away from students on full pay, and good teachers were not allowed to be paid more. So teachers unions are literally the reason that teachers aren’t paid more.[/quote]
