I'm an MNEA member, i.e., a union teacher. My students are ranked at the top in the country on their national exams. They often score an 800 on the SAT II test in my (specialization) area. So being a union teacher is neither here nor there.
To make a school work at its best, you need cooperation between the administration, faculty, students and parents. Charter schools are about that cooperation and what is best for a school. The “one size fits all” attitude is part of the problem with education today — not the “union teachers.”

Oh, they were in communion, HP, not in a union...brides of Christ they were.
I had the hard-core order of nuns...the Sisters of De Sade. They wore hooded, black leather habits, with thigh-high jack-boots complete with heel-toe taps and crucifix-like spurs...each sister wore a silver-plated Harley primary drive chain around her waist, as a metallic cinch-belt, (and emergency weapon). they wore some kind of ceremonial bandanna over their mouths and noses....all we kids could see were their fiery eyes. They spoke with thick Eastern European accents...they were large women.
Mother Teresa tried to form a union, and the Pope transferred her arse to Calcutta.
oohhh Laws... yogi has a passport. and was in the navy?
manotin: are you sure you're not my exwife?

I fell asleep reading a dull book, and I dreamt that I was reading on, so I woke up from sheer boredom.
That's pretty profound stuff, Amy. Like forgetting to remember to forget.
AmyLiorate,
When I was in college, I was required to write correctly in every single class. If my grammar was poor, in any class, it was counted against me. If a college educated professional cannot write well, it reflects poorly on the professional. If the professional is an educator, it reflects poorly on the profession. Algebraic skills are not required for good communication.
Manotin, there are two spaces between sentences. I learned that in high school.
Fail
manotin,
They said they were a math teacher, not an English teacher.
One point of view; many of us make type errors when using these slow poke machines. We're tying too damn fast and the computer can't keep up with us.
Got the same douche- bags over at The Tennessean.
One guy always busts my chops for using two "t's" in masturbate. That's how I was raised.
Then they say U-M is a "girlie" school, the Lions are loosers, and the Tigers never actually won the '68 and '84 World Series.
Oh, and Magic Johnson never graduated from Michigan State.
And finish off with Obama was born in Kenya to white parents.
treefogdk,
When you spell Navy, you make darn sure you capitalize the word Navy! What wuz you, a marine?
It doesn't surprise me that yogi was in the Navy.
And you capitalize Marine, squid.
Captain Nimrod.... excuse me again Captain Nemo. Sir (as I use the term loosely), regarding your 8:46 post about us folks special law firm. I can understand your jealousy But not only no, but hell no , you ain't joining in that firm with us. We're particular as to whom we allow into that there firm to have parties with.
logic fail.
just because 1 union teacher is a good teacher, doesn't make unions good for education or mean that any other union teacher is as good.
I understand, gdiafante, you capitalize the spelling of the name of all services when writing of said service . I was simply trying to be a little facetious. I guess it didn't get through to you.
Well, don't ask me...I was a "Zoomie"...
As usual, Florida's Rick Scott has the answer: http://bit.ly/fzpYZg
