Smile BigWill... The fact that the NEA makes life miserable for parents, administrators, and tax payers does not mean all teachers are bad. I would guess 80 % are wonderful... The problem is the 20 % are untouchable... and all it takes is one teacher like that to ruin a kid's academic career.

As a family, we are very involved on our kid's schools... and also support our public schools... buying every find raising project that comes by.

And... We still pay school taxes.

We also NEED more parental involvement... too many parents are quick to blame anyone but little Johnny...

What we don't need is more money... just smarter use of money.

Do me one small favor... don't confuse yourself with Union Thugs ... ... you are MUCH better than that, my friend.
