[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]

I was a career teacher.  I am also a Republican. Definitely a minority.  
I have criticized the unions for years - because I have seen them protect abusive and incompetent teachers.  Parents who have been speaking out are not vilifying teachers.... they are furious with School Boards and other school leaders who are pushing bad policy and even worse curriculum.  Perhaps they have criticized teachers who are pushing propaganda.  But, by and large, most parents - on the right and the left - appreciate the work teachers do.  
As a teacher, the parents I dealt with with mostly wonderful.  I worked only in Title I schools and the parents were supportive and appreciative.  Of course, I taught their kids what they needed to know to be successful in life and not some of the crap being pushed in the past few years.  
I retired from teaching as soon as I could - not because of the parents or the kids - but because of the politics of the school system.  [/quote]
