You can't do anything about it . We have what is called a "closed shop"!! If you don't pay the full dues because you don't want to belong to the union you still have to pay 85% because they do all the barganing for you . On top of that you become a sitting target for a toilet fish principal or supervisor if you don't have union representation.

Why has it not become obvious to you that you need to teach somewhere else or to find another line of work entirely ?

I enjoy teaching . Its the idiots I have to deal with that causes all the problems . Sooo , I give them more problems than they can give me .. IMHO if you can teach you don't need all the methods courses they give you in college. What college did Socrates get a diploma from . I teach Science . A real SUBJECT." SCIENCE GIVITH AND SCIENCE TAKETH AWAY !!!"
