Public Schools, Part 9
http://betsyspage.blogspot.com/2010/10/t...ad-of.html
Quote:In Wrentham Massachusetts the teachers and the school board have not been able to reach an agreement on salary disputes. The teachers are demanding a 28% increase over the next three years. No community can afford that sort of jump in payroll even in the best of times. The teachers union hasn't called a strike because that would be illegal and they'd be liable for fines. But they have decided to take what actions they can in order to put pressure on the school board. They're refusing to work with students on independent study classes that they'd previously agreed to. They're not entering grades into a system that allows parents to check on their children's grades. But most unforgivable of all, teachers are refusing to write recommendations for seniors applying to college.
Maybe they're doing the kids a favor, since college is a dubious investment these days.

Gotta love it that the gal coming down on the union is also a teacher. Why do unions think they're entitled to anything they want? I hope this story goes national.
