You've hit upon the great paradox. The unions protect the wildly
incompetent and undermine the respect we have for the profession. In NYC,
they have only fired one teacher in the last few years. It is so time
consuming and expensive to fire a teacher, they simly reassign the
incompetent to places where they don't have to teach. Were it not for
the unions, teachers would be more highly regarded because they would be
more highly qualified. There is little or no issue of qualification in
private schools, and the teachers command more respect from students and
parents. Of course, in order to go to a private school, one has to pay
even more than the $10,000 per year per student they extract from us in
taxes for each government school pupil.



and most of the private schools pay the teachers much less than the public
schools...
Yup...they can't draw their revenue at gun point.

And here in Ohio, the state teachers union is going to start signing up
the charter school teachers to get them union representation.
They can't get rid of them, so they are recruiting them.

The K-9 school (private, not charter) where my kids went was almost
completely staffed with public school ex-patriate teachers. I rather suspect
a recruiting effort there would have resulted in tarring and featherings.

Is the NEA really a NUT? By asking, I’m not casting aspersions on the
National Education Association’s sanity, just on its choice of name. The NEA’s
British counterpart really is a NUT: It is the National Union of Teachers.
British educators unapologetically acknowledge that their union is a union,
while their American peers cling to a name that belies their organization’s
agenda — literally.
