Tens of thousands of teachers on strike in the city of Angels , to " fight " for the students........lol , yeah right !


Teachers doing what they do best .........teaching students how to throw a fit if they dont get what they want

Miz was a teacher for 35 years. She taught children to read.

You poor thing, Auntie Gov. You must've had a miserable childhood. Were the teachers mean to you or what?

Did you look at the list of demands made by the LA teachers? One of them was smaller class sizes. Apparently there are some classrooms with 30, 40 and 50+ students.

Here's an idea! Why don't you write a letter to the LA Times editor and explain how you would effectively teach in a classroom that has numbers of 30+. I'm absolutely sure your vast wisdom and knowledge in the area of education would help these folks solve this issue.

Like I said before, you wouldn't last a day in a room of 7th graders attempting to teach any subject matter. Not with 50 students, not with 40 students, not with 30 students. You couldn't handle 20 7th graders for a day.

Auntie Gov, your worst nightmare would be you teaching a classroom of 30 7th graders and 20 of them have IEPs. Oh, that would be lovely to watch.

So share with us how you would effectively teach in a classroom of 40 students. I'll take notes and pass 'em along!

All they really need is more Spanish teachers to teach American kids.

Well, there it is! Maybe Help Wanted flyers posted around Madrid will solve the issue, eh?

If you want to help educate students, the first thing that should be done is to outlaw public sector unions.

Now why didn't LA think of that? You guys are geniuses!

Let me guess, school board members? Or just bar stool whiners?

I only see one whiner here. All others are common-sense suggestions.

Just not a genius leftist like you Muskrat. I see this strike more about the teachers pocket book than the students education.

Please share what you know about the teachers pocket book in LA.

Muskrat,I always think the same thing when when some of the guys whine about everybody they see as not just like themselves-somebody must have hurt their feelings and made them feel bad when the were kids.
And you can certainly tell, when anything involving public ed. comes up, many have absolutely no clue. Not that that would keep the blow-hards from running their mouths- many of the same mind set are the ones who have kids who have kids with the IEPs because of behavioral ussues that come from the parents lack of respect for education..... The dumb breed the dumber.

Education equals elitist.
Education equals liberal.
Teachers-bad.
Mailman-bad.
Not like me-bad
Government-very bad.

It's obviously not fat enough for the teachers. The articles I've read say that teachers are on strike demanding higher pay, smaller classes, and more support staff. Obviously the pay check is of great importance or that wouldn't be part of the demand. I expect that pay is most likely their greatest demand.

I’m not a teacher but common sense tells me that 40 kids in a classroom is not a great learning environment. Common sense also tells me a vast majority of those teachers voted for lib politicians that got them in the position their in. Last time I heard the numbers the average NEA employee was making 90k a year and the average teacher was making 40k a year. Maybe they should call the union office for extra funding.

I wonder how many of those students are non-citizens.

Grackle my niece is a teacher. This blow hard will keep on talking but I got to get to working. Y'all leftist have a good day.

Do you think that make it easier for the teachers to do their jobs?

Do you think that make it easier for the teachers to do their jobs?

?...I'll say it slower,..I wonder how many of those students are non-citizens?

Colleges have figured out how to teach hundreds of kids at a time in one classroom. Then again, the kids are paying to be there so that is a bit different.

You cant just shrink class sizes without having more classrooms and teachers unless you want to have more study halls during the day to soak up the extra students. One day people will figure out that there isnt enough money to sustain public employees. Unfortunately that day will probably come after everyone is paying 70% or more of their paychecks to taxes.

15-20%?

mnsota, It's nice to know that you wonder that. Do you think your statement was a question?
My post was a question. Yours was not-no matter how slow you are.
