Get a grip. These are liberal teachers we are talking about. Might as well imagine a platypus having it on with a hippopotamus.

Oops, there lorien goes again. ;)

Special K, what’s the advantage of teachers not joining the union? It sounds like the union provides a lot of job security at the expense of the tax payer.

Only 700? They must have radically revamped their curriculum.

Maybe NYC should vote some intelligent people on to their school board who would fire them.

700 teachers in the time out chair.
The intelligent thing to do is stop paying them.

Thank G*d I live in Arizona, a right to work state. They really tried to get me to join the NEA and I said, "Not no, but hell no." Only about half of the teachers in my district are members, and I have managed to talk a few of them into dropping their membership. And, yes, Mr. Joe, the NEA endorsed Obama and the union members did vote for the idiot. The other half, my half, did not.

It seems these idlers and their “employers” are still alive and still able to live in New York City, because of the decent forbearance of New York City’s inhabitants.

One year, out of tens of thousands of teachers something like 3 were actually fired.
The most secure job in the world…and they wonder why 35% are not making it through high school.
