Wait there Gov, we need these modern teachers to teach the one sided, anti American ideology and agenda's to our youth to sink us into turmoil and keep us in step with 3rd world countries. The time has come to give up our sovereignty!
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

You could not pay me enough to be a teacher with the way kids and parents act today the schools are so afraid of lawsuits they don't back the teachers so it seems pointless!
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

EdP, I agree with you that changes need to be made. I agree that unions aren't the answer to better education for our students. I agree that, just like in an realm of life, there are plenty of bad apples (lazy, complacent teachers) that made a bad name for the whole bunch. I agree that unions are protecting these bad apples and this needs to change.
Your third point, however, doesn't hold much water in my books. I live and teach in a small rural community and we have lost more qualified teachers than we have been able to retain to a local pharmaceutical company that pays better and requires less qualifications. Making teaching jobs competitive is exactly the problem. Nobody wants to do it for the pay and benefits, headaches, and snob kids. The starting salary at my school is $32,000. It's a different clientele than it was a couple decades ago.
Sorry, I don't mean to vent and I try very hard not to be bias but I just get sick of hearing the same soapbox junk from a few individuals here that think they have all of the answers but haven't set foot in a school in decades. Contrary to popular belief there actually are some good educators in the classroom that are working to make change.
