The Teachers Movement - when teachers got angry (buy, public schools)

[Voebe]

“We were told to sit down when we stood in agreement. We were told to remain quiet when applauding when a teacher, who was in tears, was pleading for support for our classes and our students,” she wrote. “We were disrespected. We were mocked. We were listened to, but not heard.”

In Arizona, state funding per pupil has been below the national average since 1975, falling particularly after the mid-1990s, when lawmakers embarked on an almost unbroken streak of annual cuts in personal and corporate income taxes.

Generally I am in favor of school funding, however in California the Teachers union is one of the three branches of government, which is also not a good thing.

We'll pay for Americans going to Mexican public schools, buy they have to pay us for their citizens going to our schools. Seems fair enough. Go stand by the Diconcini Port of Entry at 8am on a school day...watch as five different government agencies turn a blind eye to Mexican kids crossing into AZ to illegally attend public schools. But heaven forbid enrollment drop by a third at NUSD and them laying off educrats.
