We don’t need a Teachers Union - 2/24/2011

Teachers on a whole have committed treason against the United States! They are cowards that hide behind that one gifted teacher we all remember and loved; one out of many failures. They have failed us on so many levels from the basics of reading, math, and history to the more complex comprehensive thinking and reason. We know our children are falling far behind their overseas counter parts and they bluntly point the finger at parents, they system, and even the child it’s self. Not once do they stand up and say I failed you and I’m sorry, oh no it’s I don’t make enough money, pay me for and I’ll teach your children better; like the two are connected in some magical way. Teachers are Part-Time employees and are reaping in full time remuneration with full benefits including retirement and they don’t even have to produce results, it’s bestowed upon them. They have used their collective bargaining rights to give themselves “work days” without children to get their failed jobs done. Wouldn’t you just love to go into work and tell you boss we are going to shut the phones off today so we can get some side work done. This even the great Teamsters couldn’t even negotiate; yet the teachers union has manipulated that perk at the expense of our children. I have to ask myself why a part-time failure would need a day or more during the school year to their side work done.

We know that boys and girls learn differently, we know that girls are afraid to express their intelligences due to long standing belief that smart girls are lonely girls, and boys do better when the girls are out of the class room in math and science. We know this and yet we don’t implement it. I ask myself why? I fear it’s because the boys would demand excellence from their teachers and the girl’s expectations would be high; they would have freedom to learn without their social stigmas to hold them back. I have noted for some time that men have fled the teaching profession; we need our men to consider teaching as a valued profession with respect. Where are the men? Why is teaching a primarily feminine roll when we know children need and respond the male gifts and natural talents. Children tire of listening to the female voice and lack of follow through; just screeching and empty threats. We need to recruit more male teachers; where is the union on this very important matter what is it doing to recruit mem?

I have come to believe that teachers should not be allowed alone in the class room until they have been out in the private sector working a full time position for about 5 years; learning how to navigate the corporate world, and over whelming work demands to produce. Knowing if you miss a day you can and will be replaced; where there is no quiet work day to get it all done, you take it home and get it done on your own time with no remuneration, you simply get to keep you job for one more day. Corporate workers have given back benefits, retirement, and continue to find the time to stay informed and up to date with the new technology and changes in their field.

A very lovely lady explained eloquently why teachers don’t need a union. They are state employees working for us the tax payers and we the tax payers through our representatives tell them what we expect and what should be happening in our schools. No more union protecting teacher, we pay the bills
