The sad truth is it will probably happen because the teachers unions are one of the ONLY Unions left that have real muscle and have delivered wonderfully for that Profession. The results though are being used against them big time. We should all have such Unions! I have a friend that works as a Home Economics teacher in a PA., high school and she makes 100K a yr. plus solid gold benefits and a royal pension of 80 % of here last pay check when she retires in 3 yrs. Plus, she gets medical as well, it adds up to over 100K a yr. till she dies! The right is using these extravagantly benefited and paid teachers ( only a minority) as whipping boyz/girlz and its working.; 10:12 AM

At the end there is a woman who is the simplest terms explains who is making huge money on Bush's no child left behind. All privatizing is about sending money to some corporation. It's always about profit and dollars.; 11:52 AM
