Message: <blockquote data-quote="DriveInDriѵeOut" data-source="post: 1202700" data-attributes="member: 44954">Most teachers unions have no power at all.... republicans have made sure of that.   The result is millions of teachers that are teaching to the test because if their students don't show gains they are at risk of losing their jobs. Imagine 60% of your work evaluations are based on a kid bubbling in a Christmas tree on a scantron sheet.  The other 40% is based  on how much you kiss your principal's arse in the weeks leading up to the 40 minutes she spends sitting in the back of your classroom playing with her Ipad "evaluating" your teaching skills.   This is the system unions were trying to fight against, while republican politicians were busy taking collective bargaining rights away from people who actually work for a living.</blockquote>
