indeed! my niece used to be a teacher in California... politically she is conservative, and she chose not to join the teachers’ union... during her first year as a teacher, a union rep came to see her at the school she taught at... he wanted to talk with her about joining the union... he quickly told her all the benefits of being in the union, to which she replied that she didn’t need to be in the union to receive those benefits... he was so angry that she knew that... he told her she was wrong for taking advantage of it and not paying her fair share... she looked at him straight in the eye and said, “i don’t plan to be a teacher very long... i plan is to become an administrator,” to which he turned away from her in disgust... an administrator—imagine that...
