| I don't know that the union was involved. It was a case where the principal chose to find less harmful activities for somewhat slacker teachers. They weren't child molesters, they were just lazy. But schools are afraid to even try to get rid of the lousy teachers. That's a shame. At the same time, there are teachers in those rubber rooms because they've been unjustly accused. They deserve their day in court. Unions wouldn't get such a bad name if they'd admit they don't need to protect every single teacher.
By and large though states with unionized teachers have better schools than those that don't. |
