The ONLY thing the NEA is for is advancing teachers pay and prstige...
All at the cost of the “necessary evil”...The students...
Not in our state. Thank God.
Huge endorsement.
I dunno...really hard to believe anyone at NEA is calm and rational enought to actually type this out
Garcia is the reason why the US ranks 26th among developed nations in education. Obviously Garcia isn’t interested in all students
I would like to see that because everything else I have seen is she is for it. Of course Trump is against it which is good.
I also read he had a place at TRUMP Tower or one of TRUMP's buildings
In short, the NEA opposes her. That’s as good an endorsement as any.
I once was a small college assistant football coach...I actually heard a professor say that his research was hampered by having to hold classes for the “necassary evil”, the students....
I don’t know about my state. Our daughter is only 14 months so we have a bit to wait but a friend from childhood Home schools in OK and she has to show her kids a CC video at a minimum a week (I think she said it was 2 hours).
I AGREE! My daughter is a teacher. After doing her student teaching in college, she is adamant about only teaching in
private schools even if the pay is less. Here in Liberal Land, even the experience teachers told her to avoid teaching in public schools here.
She has been teaching in a private school and loves it.
Public education is for public educators
the kids are just educator fodder
Congress can simply pass a law that says any state which receives Federal funding, guarantees or reimbursements must preclude negotiation with any employees via collective bargaining.
Throughout their state, down to every municipality.
For any and all positions.
Or all such funding ceases upon June 1st, 2017.
You have that backwards. The DoEd is nothing but the governmental arm of the NEA.
Oh, I agree—I’d outlaw all public sector unions, before taking away the legislation we have that also gives private sector unions special rights and protections. (If the mass of workers wants to walk off the job at risk of firing, that’s fine with me—I just don’t want the government involved putting a thumb on the scale for the showdown.)
But most immediately, the most kids would be helped by 1) teaching pure phonics and 2) allowing discipline, including expulsion, in the classroom again.
I taught at a University for a couple of years and that is how most feel. They are there to get their pet theories (research) paid for the students are a hassle.
Of course my attorney husband said they used to tell him in law school “Practicing Law would be great if it weren’t for the clients” He agrees and pretty much retired after 10 years. He keeps his license up and does some pro bono stuff but that’s it. Fortunately the farm is large enough to provide a good income.
Remember the Air Traffic Controllers Union???
They walked off the job abd Reagan had them all fired and replaced....
