| Subject: TEACHER'S UNIONS, TEACHERS & STUDENTS!!! Tue 22 Feb 2011, 8:15 am | |
| The truly educated never graduate ! Let me remind you of the words of the late Albert Shanker. Shanker was the president of the American Federation of Teachers from 1964 to 1984. A reporter approached Shanker at a union convention to ask about the nature of the resolutions being presented for consideration by the teachers. The reporter wanted to know why the bulk of the deliberations at the convention were about fighting school choice and more benefits and pay for teachers, while very little was being said about the actual students. Shanker's response? "I will worry about the children when they can vote in union elections." That pretty much says it all about teacher's unions, doesn't it?
