Commentary: Sowing the Seeds of Discord
Professional Educators of Tennessee, like other organizations, values being non-partisan. We have seen the damage done by other organizations that are hyper-partisan. Political contributions have consequences and ultimately hurt the profession. We have seen this firsthand in public education. Our members are adamant they do not want their dues going to political candidates or endorsement of candidates. We must work together with all policymakers for shared success.

In New York City, and I’m sure in many municipalities, Memphis included, the role of schools is to babysit the pupils (notice I did not use the word “students,” because that implies study.as opposed to mere attendance). The teacher’s unions are raping the taxpayer for this “service;” teachers are overpaid, Johnny (or should I say D’Jaquan)can’t read, and the Union ensures that such will be the case for the foreseeable future.
ReplyDeleteAmen to that. Babysitting is the only inarguable good taxpayer funded schools do. And like all things government, they do an absolutely piss poor job of even that. Inflexible hours, horrible pickup policies, etc.
