” ‘When the kids start paying union dues, they’ll start thinking about the kids!’

One NEA leader actually stated that very line a while back. “

Close. It was Albert Shanker, former American Federation of Teachers (AFT) president. I think what he said was the following: “When the kids start paying union dues, I’ll start to represent their interests too.” Same thing you said, but worded a bit more in labor-speak.

The fact is that a large percentage of all public school teachers send their children to private schools. They know how bad the public schools are, not that they don't still want high pay and benefits, after all it is for the children!

But don’t forget, the teachers union is all about the students (tee hee hee). And I have a bridge in the Florida swamp for sale.
