You think the possibility of even less security for American workers and
their families is good?


Typical of the people who will willingly take any benefits and wages won
by
union brothers but don't want to contribute to the cost or effort of
winning
same. Maybe JohnH should checkout the salaries of teachers before they
became unionized. I doubt he'd be willing to work for what he's actually
worth.


I'm one of a large number who disagree with the concept that higher
teacher pay
results in a better educated student.

In my opinion, the teachers unions do more harm than good now. I don't
really
care what they did 40 years ago, and I hold no allegiance to unions for
their
activities in the past.

Salaries at private schools are typically far below that of public schools,
yet outperform the public schools by miles.

QED

The big difference is that the parents are directly footing the bill and take a
*very* active interest in their children's education.

Some reasons teachers will work at private schools for a significant salary
decrease are student motivation/discipline, smaller class sizes, and parents who
actually care.
