Is it over for the unions?

We hear about bad schools, more political fodder but even the bad schools have wonderful teachers...many factors are involved, resources and parental involvement for example.

I agree parents are no better than schools. Whole different debate there with no real solution, sadly. Good luck regulating that mess. Full circle here but, should not those "wonderful teachers" be rewarded based on their own merits? Or just lumped in with everyone else.

Agree that teachers should be rewarded based on merit but without a union how exactly does that happen?

Do you have a boss?

I do and I do my job very well. My performance is tied directly to my salary. The better I do my job the more money and concessions I ask for.
My co-workers are more highly educated than I am but not as talented. Therefore they are not as well rewarded.
