Hum, what a surprise

It seems today that the most unbelievable stories come out of the educational system. The 4 year old who brings a tic tac to school and get’s suspended until he’s 17. You know–those stories.

Well here is a post that unfortunately isn’t shocking. It’s not shocking because the teachers unions have the states tied up just like the UAW has the big three automakers.

This story is important for a lot of reasons. It shows a pattern. It’s not just my own beloved State of Utah that is getting shellacked. It’s lots, if not all states. Teachers right now are fighting for money. States are in the red and need to cut operating costs. Teachers are actually picketing against cut backs. They think EVERY teacher is valuable.

This report shows that every teacher is not valuable. You don’t have to be a molester to not be valuable. The real point of this story is that it is almost impossible to get laid off as a teacher. Teachers that are just not that good need to be let go. Not just the really blatant ones.

These are our kids. They deserve the best. They don’t deserve a situation where the unqualified can’t get let go.

Think about it. Do you want to eat at a Burger King that absolutely won’t let go of its employees? Do you want to go to a doctors office that won’t let go of its employees? Do you want to take your care to a brake shop that won’t let go of its employees? Then why do you want your 5 year old spending 35 hours a week with a teacher who can’t be let go?
