[QUOTE="island1fox, post: 808209, member: 4816"] crowbar, Believe it or not we agree on many areas. Let me see what you think of this. In a local township meeting this was presented: 1. Todays children are very interested and motivated by technology--ipods,iphones etc. 2. Made a proposal to freeze the Number of Teachers at present levels but through retirements etc reduce the number by a large %. 3. In the future pay the lower number of teachers a very high salary and benefit package but make full use of computer based training to motivate and teach the children. 4. Rejected because the teacher union wants more teachers ,more union membership, more union dues. Do not care that the use of technology would produce better results at a lower ongoing cost to taxpayers. If you are that steeped in unions --you will agree. Common sense would tell us to move on with the technology of the times. In my Municipality Teachers want more money,better health care, work only 9 to 3 with two of those hours "planning time" smaller class sizes,better pension plans,get all the holidays off plus sick days, a paid week for spring break, a paid week for winter break,full paycheck June, July August while not working, presently recieve 50 dollars per pay per hour to be in summer school four hours per day ,one hour which is planning time ???? Also add on a new gym and new football uniforms for the team. What the hell throw in pom-poms for the cheerleaders. Many of the children graduating cannot even read or write ??? As union President Albert Schanker a long time ago in NYC stated, "When children pay union dues thats when I will worry about their education" Nice !! [/QUOTE]
