Teachers are public servants, not slaves and have the same rights as do all of us to the compensation they can negotiate. They don't negotiate for the public, nor should they. They organize as a group and elect someone to negotiate as do taxpayers.



Why did you stop teaching?
i didn’t say public servants have less rights. but they seem to think they have more rights than the rest of us. I can’t force them
to help fund my retirement, but they can sure as hell force me to fund theirs. i’ll reasonable taxes to help them, i feel no obligation to pay insane taxes. from where i sit, i see no limit to the portion of
my paycheck that public sector unions, and their members, feel entitled to. if i have to sell my house to fund their benefits ( in CT, unfounded debt is in excess of $30,000 for every human in the state, $150,000 for my family of 5) they will gladly accept that. They feel absolutely entitled to $150,000 from my family, on top of current taxes which are already insane. You could never get away with that in the private sector. Never ever ever.

i stopped teaching because i loved the kids. i hated the union, the administration, and many of the parents.
