Comments on: UK Goes For Solving Unruly Student Problem http://www.yourct.com/2009/06/uk-goes-for-solving-unruly-student-problem/ Connecticut Political Commentary, News and Analysis Wed, 25 Jan 2012 04:05:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Old Timer http://www.yourct.com/2009/06/uk-goes-for-solving-unruly-student-problem/comment-page-1/#comment-150550 Old Timer Mon, 06 Jul 2009 02:31:35 +0000 http://www.yourct.com/new/?p=3810#comment-150550 Center for Union Facts is a very secretive anti-union group, based in Washington, DC, and led by a lobbyist named Rick Berman. He, and his organizations (he uses several names), refuse to identify his source of income, but seem to have plenty of money to lobby against certain legislation and fund multi-million dollar advertising camapigns. Much of what he blames on unions is simply not true. Bad teachers can be fired, but not capricously. The unions will represent them to ensure they get due process protections written into their contracts, but will not defend against criminal charges, or civil suits. Other unions offer similar protection for their members. There are administrations, and boards of education, that are too lazy or timid to fire bad teachers and blame the unions. Much the same way poor management in the Auto industry try to blame the unions for management’s failings

I have recently read about a national parent move to do something about teacher's unions. Oh, my! There is just too much going on in education that adds to its brokenness. I want to toss this situation into the ring to get your points of view.
