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.

If the shoe fits...

But, hey...I've been following the goings on at Chapel Hill down there.


Where I live, and teach, the vast majority of teachers are hard working,
dedicated professionals. They teach for the love of it, because the crap
pay and respect tossed our way is not enough reason to stay in it.

First: nationally, teachers are coming from the bottom quartile of their
class. Second, only a small fraction are teaching classes in areas for which
they have their degrees.

As for the unions, check this and follow the trackbacks:

I'm sorry for you they did exactly what they intended, which is to make so
many people naive.
