You could say that about every unionized industry in the past 100 years.

The teacher's unions are the newest idiots-at-work.

I feel sorry for you, and the educational institution that has made you
feel this way about teachers.

Where I live, and teach, the vast majority of teachers are hard working,
dedicated professionals.

Yeah? How doyou iknow that? Did they tell you that?

Did they also tell you that because of their academic record they COULD'T GO
ANY WHERE ELSE?

Is that "hard working"`ethic the reason that so many of our Yutes are more
and more academiclly regressed with each passing year?


They teach for the love of it, because the crap pay and respect tossed
our way is not enough reason to stay in it.

Yet they stay, and stay. And every year our public indoctrination system
produces worse and worse morons.

You really have to dig a bit beyond the empty platitudes the "teachers" have
been spewing for a few generations now.

I don't know where you were, but I had a chance to be in a GM plant over a
period of years. What I saw was hardly a sweat shop. It was like my
concept of an assembly line, but in slow motion. On the engine line, you
could work ahead several jobs (taking all of about 2 minutes), and then sit
down and read the paper (for about 10 minutes) until those jobs passed you.
I never saw ANYTHING that looked even remotely rushed or even pressing. All
of this for money and benefits in the area of $100,000 per year, with no
educational investment. Of course, this plant is gone now. Those employees
are collecting the same money and benefits for sitting in a "job bank" and
doing cross word puzzles. Is it any wonder?

Once I had fulfilled my
daily quota, I was told to go hide for the last couple hours of my
shift.

Yeah, part of what killed GM, etc... AC Delco parts factory in Flint
was famous for that... A shirt tail relative worked there for 30 years
- she was TOLD by union reps what days she was not to show up, they
would punch her in and out...
OTOH, the final assembly lines were/are demanding... You have to be
there, every minute is monitored, have to have relief to go to the can,
etc...
Anyway, from what I see the package delivery folks are rode hard and
put away wet...

My mom has a cousin that always bragged about how he never showed up at
Chrysler to work, had others clock him in, slept on the job etc. Well the
plant is now closed and he isn't making crap working some autoparts job.
Who's bragging now?

This really makes you appreciate the kind of crap weather that most of
us have the luxury of avoiding.

Way too funny!

Quite! It looked like a free-form version of Pac-Man!
