Mr. Riley’s objection to unionizing Mueller teachers isn’t political. It’s just that, like Ms. Chan and other charter operators around the nation, he believes union structure is at loggerheads with charters’ attempts at real reform.
"We’ve seen time and time again where school employees’ interests conflict with the interests of children," Mr. Riley said. "And it seems like the kids always lose."

BUMP!

Guys,A teacher's union promotes the union. THAT is its job. NOT educating children. Peace and love, George.

It just can't be the union. Teachers love children and are dedicated to their life's work. They would never place their own interests above the children.

Here is what we need to do about these vicious monsters at the NEA here in California:

1. Enforce the U.S. Supreme Court decision Communications Workers v. Beck (487 US 735, 1988).

2. Assist formation of corporate service associations. Offer State funding for local school districts to divest into smaller, more personalized institutions.

3. Use the private and home education market to develop and test learning tools and services. Private validation services could assess product performance against product claims. School boards would be free to select guaranteed products for use in public schools.

4. Insurance on the guarantee would cover the cost of remedial education if the product fails to meet warranted performance.

5. Veto any bill requiring home and private educators to conform to State teacher certification standards.

6. Veto any bill requiring State supervision of home schools.

7. Analyze any Federal program for insufficient funds and unintended consequences suspecting unfunded mandates. Cite New York v. United States (505 US 144, 1992).

8. Publicly excoriate Bill Lockyer at every opportunity.
