I’ve seen several of these on Facebook posts and have been having trouble coming up with a good reply.

In fact, it looks lame because EVERYBODY knows the unions are financing all of this.

Why pay $1.32/hour at public school when private school will do a better job of teaching for about half of that.

It takes more than correct math to make a business plan. This particular plan one major missing component and at least one major non sequitur.

The major missing component is that no monies have been allocated to the capital; i.e., the facilities. This is an interesting omission since it is the same flaw introduced by Karl Marx; i.e., the party which provides the tools or the organization does not deserve monetary remuneration.

The non sequitur is multiplying “babysitting” costs by the number of students. That doesn’t happen to be the cash flow which pays teachers. And again, they overlook the overhead of the administration as well as cost of books and materials.

Economy of scale. Might be too weighty for teachers to comprehend.

I asked one of my friends, who is a teacher and posted that link, if she thinks that teachers who do a crappy job should receive the same treatment, pay and benefits that she receives. Haven't heard yet.

Unions only protect the worst workers. Good employees will always be valued.
