re: Public school teachers are underpaid and under appreciated

Get rid of the teachers union.

I get the shite for teachers unions around here. But given how sue happy parents can be for shite as simple as breaking up a fight, I can understand not wanting to work without one. Without that representation, district are quick to throw a teacher under the bus even when its their own policy failure that leads to issues.

The largest issues in public school districts today is this:

- School districts need to grow a sack and tell parents to frick off every once and a while. Stop settling bullshite lawsuits because your kid's arm got bruised when his teacher grabbed him to stop him from curbstomping another kid.

- Now that eSchool options are becoming more prevalant, we need to start handing kids who do nothing but disrupt classrooms an eSchool login and tell their parents to have at it. Removing extremely disruptive students would eliminate more than half of your issues in public school classrooms.
