Union Teacher's Pay VS results

The Madison, WI union event is all but over. The courts are trying to make legislative laws from the bench.
The rules stand. The vote was cast and the 14 Democrats who fled instead of holding true to the people who voted for them did nothing but piss-off people and show the world that WIsconsin politics is just like 3rd world politics.

What did the 14 Democrats expect when they said in effect - If I can't win the game, I quit my job???
They acted like grammar school children.

And has anyone looked at the pay for Wisconsin teachers??? It's between 36,000 and approaches 108,000 per
8 months of work. And the results: Well, If you measure the results by the ability of the students they
are teaching, you come up with an overall failing grade.

Come on people. The SAT test had to be dumbed down just so the majority of high school graduates could get
into state colleges. Why is that??? Because students are not learning. There is zero correlation between
a teacher's salary and student's learning.

So where does the money go? First of all it comes from you and me in the form of increased real estate taxes.
The money ends up in administration salary increases - bigger vacations for teachers - with the increase
in teacher's salaries, the UNION DUES GOES UP. AH HA!!! This is why the unions always want to increase the
pay of their union members - IT'S ALL ABOUT UNION DUES!!! And it has nothing to do about teaching.

If it did then all students would be graduating with all "A"s and the "A" would again mean something. And they would need to make the SAT tests more difficult to separate the brilliant from the very smart. But of course,
In many high schools, they are praying for maybe at least 40% to 50% will go on to college. WHOOPS!!!
Can't say "praying" when talking about schools.

Back to the average high school graduate. Not only is it important for our students to learn the basics so they
can move through life with some ability to evaluate life, business and politics BUT without graduating high school
students, the colleges with their over-priced tuitions would not have enough students to fill their classes.

So what does a union do for the students - ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

And that's the way I see it...
