Do you think Apple computers would be as innovative as they are if they were a Union shop? Think about it.
Do you want your kids to go to an Apple computer type school or a General Motors type school? Its that simple
I'm not arguing the fact that the Teachers shouldn't be graded on performance...I agree. All I said was that maybe we should also be listening to the students.

Did you ever have a teacher that lit a fire in you.....I know I did, and I bet every student has one...a lot of them might even have the same one...that should count for something.
