It is a strange comment from a person who believes in the unions and
their policy of paying the oldest and longest serving employees the
most, regardless of performance.
Who believes that? I don't think you'll find anyone who does.
School teachers.
Nonsense. They believe performance does matter, and they're sick of
teaching to tests that don't teach kids anything useful except maybe
how to take tests.
Taking tests is a very important skill but these teachers do not want
their salary tied to any measure of performance. They want to be paid
by credentials and time in grade.
Make that sound reasonable to me..
A totally out of touch teacher with 20 years on the job and a PhD, who
gets horrible results, makes 3 times as much as a new teacher who
connects with the kids and really gets something done in the
classroom. That is ridiculous.
Too many variables in your argument. You're making assumptions the kids
in each class are pretty much the same kids, with the same home life.
When I was in public school, the older, more experienced teachers were
by far the better teachers.

Maybe but I had a terrible crush on Mr. Hansen in 8th grade. He was
one of the younger ones. Of course, I can't remember a single thing he
said.

Most of my public school teachers made really strong, positive
impressions on me. In all those years, though, there was only one young
woman I considered cute.

In those days, just after Franklin "discovered" electricity, the
teachers did not have to take the amount of b.s. dished up to them today.
