Teachers unions have entirely to much control in this country.
This isn't some union trying to get additional compensation from some private company this union is milking us "the tax payer" dry.

Busting up the unions does not sound like a reasonable response to having 700 idle NYC teachers.

Do you live in NYC?

I do live in NYC and I can vouch for the fact that HS teachers make a killing. The average teacher gets paid 40+k a year. That includes 2 months vacation. They also get a generous pension and health benefits.

40k is no problem, especially if they have a degree and work summers. However, they don't work summers, and they have a very generous pension that sucks cash from NYC taxpayers.

So you feel that having a degree and potentially a Masters is worth less than $23/hr?

What is your background and do you get paid more than they do.

Does not compute.
