LOL! Thanks for the link. My sister is a public school teacher in NJ. No wonder that she doesn’t like Christie!

You’re welcome; when that info became available a few years back I posted it on several local forums here in northern NJ. It shut up the “teachers are poor” proponents (teachers and their dependent spouses), and I’m sure helped send many school budgets down in flames. After the Asbury Park Press released the data, public support for teachers dropped like a stone and Christie won his election.

Share the link far & wide; Wisonsin and NJ don’t have to be isolated victories against the true owners of the Democrat Party, the teachers’ unions themselves.

We know and history shows that lowering standards simply leads to lowering standards. It’s a vicious cycle that cannot be broken unless you raise the standards.

Our kids are being taught by the same types of union workers that once worked in factories or sold shoes at the local five and dime.

They're impossible to fire for incompetence - and almost impossible to fire for using schools as their personal free whore houses. Add to that 'a pass' given by the MSM - and 'victim status' accorded by Democrats and we're lucky it's not worse than it is...

...the average Boston teacher’s salary is around $82,000, they refuse to believe me. When I tell them that the teacher-student ratio is lower than it’s ever been in the modern era, they can’t accept it.

The average person believes the “poor me” propaganda in part because the unions spend so much promoting it. Since 2005, the MTA has spent $4 million on lobbying and political activism in Massachusetts alone. People fall for it, politicians react and the cost of mediocre education continues to rise.

Michael Graham is a MSM reporter with a respectable newspaper AND he's telling the truth. Something big is happening... this is an early sign.
