#1 SO like a union to think of only itself and nobody else.

#2 The subsets of people who are a. lazy, stupid, dishonest, and incompetent and who b. worship at the altar of the false god of infinite income stream security provided by some outside force....

.... are seen again to be one and the same.

Good for this school committee. A little fear does wonders for a worker's work ethic and competence level, if said worker is one of those types.

#3 George Parker, head of the Washington, D.C., teachers union, about the voucher program there, he said: "Parents are voting with their feet. ... As kids continue leaving the system, we will lose teachers. Our very survival depends on having kids in D.C. schools so we'll have teachers to represent."

#4 The unions control the state education oversight system. The state already runs the CF school system. Nothing going to happen here, folks.

#5 "The school wants them to work more hours for no extra pay," Manco said, explaining what teachers had told him.

In short the idiot is only repeating what his teachers preached to him during classtime.

"It's a bad idea, because I know they need a job," Joseph said. "They need to work. Maybe they should talk to the teachers."

Maybe its the teachers who are refusing to talk. Maybe the school district should publicise how much the teachers are being paid.

#6 The union prevents the schools from selectively firing bad teachers, so the district has to fire them all.

Ah, I love the smell of irony in the morning.
