I believe that the union needs to evolve, not be abolished. Co-evolution with the system is essential, as non-tenured teachers have zero job security, tenured teachers have too much.
What about the union is worth saving?

The average teacher's salary (nation wide) is $50,000. $50,000/180 days = $277.77/per day/30 students=$9.25/6.5 hours = $1.42 per hour per student--a very inexpensive baby-sitter and they even EDUCATE your kids!) WHAT A DEAL!!!!
good interview with Christie about unions
He said the unions were asked to give 1% to their retirement and just a freeze in their pay and the unions told him to go to hell.
Thats how the unions want to work at the bargaining table.
This shit shouldnt be a surprise to anyone. These governers ran on this in their elections.

Recent agreements include changes to overtime pay, health care and other benefits.
In Princeton Township, reimbursements for college tuition and uniform allowances have been cut. In Manapalan, the union agreed to contribute to health benefits a year earlier than required by its contract. Officers in the Monmouth County township will also forego overtime for the next 18 months.
Unions in Howell, Montville, South Brunswick and Egg Harbor Township have reached similar agreements.
one of my facebook friends posted some bullshit logic in support of this. check this out, this is what unions actually believe.
this is their reasoning

and remember they only teach 9 months out of the year - shit used to be so kids could head back to the farm and harvest the crops. Like this is really needed now.
No, that's what your dumbass friend believes.
Well, I'm a Red Sox fan, and I believe that unions have a net positive influence on society, so all Red Sox fans are pro-union. Say, aren't you a Red Sox fan?
it was posted by a teacher.
Summer is used to get recency credits. I hear a lot about how high school math doesn't change from year to year so there is no need for recency credits. You're half right. While using a Riemann sum to approximate the area under a curve or something similar hasn't changed much, education laws are always changing. Everything from public law 94-142, to state graduation requirements, accreditation standards, standardized testing changes every year. More than that, pedagogy evolves as well, and while I do kind of roll my eyes when someone tells us we've been teaching how to obtain Riemann's sums ineffectively, there's usually something interesting in how someone has taken a fresh look at teaching an old topic.
Pedagogy is teaching how to teach, btw. It's a retarded word education administrators invented so they can feel smart.
Vanster,
Please tell me how PUBLIC WORKER unions are good for our economy.
Kind Regards,
