public school teachers.....organized criminals.
Push along with them for more spending. They’ll run completely out of money and shut up sooner. ;-)
And how will the government “printing press” (re. fabricated financial instruments) keep them going, when the fake revenues will be worthless? That tactic worked, when we were producing something to steal revenues from. But that’s nearly all gone. There’s a big default ahead of us all. Yea! ;-)
How about cutting loose the kids who don’t want to be there. Many kids today don’t want to go to school. They cause disruptions, fail every class due to lack of effort, and basically cause headaches for teachers and those students wanting to learn. Class sizes will go from 33 to 15 in an instant.
“Many kids today dont want to go to school.”
Instead of continually giving to those that don’t want to work for anything, how about giving them a choice?
Choose between learning or 8 hours a day on a chain gang filling pot holes and cutting weeds.
Texas is public school teacher poor. If we took the trillions of dollars that are sucked out of the economy in the name of public education and allowed the tax payers to invest it, Texas would be a world-class economy.
The public school system is nothing more than a make work project to keep demoRat voters employed.
No sympathy for them. PERIOD!
I wonder how many students they’d have in their class if all the illegals went home?
Class size is little relevant to quality education. Class sie, however, does impinge on the number of teachers contributing money to the Unions.

Yes, you said it. Teachers complain about the pay and yet have hundreds of thousands of dollars to run ads complaining about pay. If they didn’t have union dues, teachers would have more take home pay even though they already earn decent salaries and benefits. Unions are parasites, plain and simple.
That's the best idea I've seen in quite a while.
Maybe they should cut non teaching positions to cooks, janitors and one principal per school.
“public employee union parasites keep running the same playbook.”
It is soooo nauseating!!!
Make the parents do that stuff.
Yes! And the sad travails of those who choose poorly will serve as a vivid warning to younger kids.
Soaring class sizes—that’s what happens when you have to educate a million of another country’s kids.
In their own privately funded school with tax vouchers...
The EDUCRATS mafia run the SAME scare tactic ads in EVERY state when faced with either cuts or attempting to increase taxes “for the kids”.
Several years ago in Alabama the democrat controlled state house, in conjuction with the EDUCRAT lobby attempted a huge tax increase “for the kids”...They ran ads that, amoung other outrageous claims, said that high school football would have to be eliminated, kids would go without school lunches, etc...
It was voted down by 61%, and we still have FOOTBALL, LUNCHES, and even running water.
This is not something that can be fixed by giving more money to the schools. An infinite amount of money is not enough. The teacher's union and the lawyers will not allow any meaningful reform. We need to outlaw public schools and let a completely private system develop. We also need to get rid of mandatory attendance laws and get rid of the minimum wage laws.
It's what I do...without the tax credit, of course. At least for now my donations to the Annual Fund are deductible.
But this is a larger point: that is how most private schools work. Parents volunteer, at the Clinic, in the Library, on the athletic fields, in the lunch room....And this is after paying multiple thousands of dollars for each child, donating the Annual operating fund (100% parent participation), and helping to get corporate assistance. I'm so sick of deadbeats who expect everything to be done for them by someone else.
Not only that, but I also get to pay for the local crappy public schools, not only through my property taxes, but a local sales tax.
Wouldn't you know that election day is now ALWAYS a "teacher's workday?"
