The teachers normally don’t deserve the pensions. Firstly, they can’t be fired. They get pensions for showing up, good job or bad. Secondly, in many states the pensions went up in the late 1990’s over what they were promised. So they are not getting what they were promised. They are getting far more. Thirdly, they really do a bad job. Most teachers are not qualified to teach math, computers or science. And its sad to say, but kids don’t listen to older teachers. The best teacher has 5 to 15 years experience. After that the teachers start to lose their ability to communicate to kids in a way the kids accept.
Think of it this way. You go to college and take the easiest major in the worst colleges. You get a job and never get promoted for thirty years. You can never be fired and you work 180 days a year. In many states you don’t have to pay SSN you get a raise every year, and you can retire in your 50’s. Why do we owe these people so much? Its a scam.
Teachers would be induced to teach or the school closes ... period
