Let's look at WI's reported state test proficiency level vs. the NAEP* proficiency level (to see how honest WI is about providing an adequate education). Other states are listed, too: NAEP Researchcenter - NAEP and State Equivalent Percent Table
For each grade level, the first column lists the percentage of students scoring as proficient (meets or exceeds state standards) on the state test; the second column lists the percentage of students scoring as proficient on the NAEP (National Assessment).
* National Assessment of Educational Progress
Hmmm... only about 1/3 of WI students can meet even basic grade-level proficiency standards.
Wisconsin is one the higher scoring States in your own link. Exceeded by other Blue States which pay teachers even more. .
Let me clue you in on something. When any worker union or non-union obtains more pay/benefits those increased labor costs are passed on to you the consumer. Heaven forbid! I know you would love everyone in the USA to make minimum wage so you can purchase your 99 cent cheeseburger at Walmart but most Americans feel you should be able to earn a decent wage and take care of your family if you are willing to work. Stop trying to drag this country into the gutter.
Aren't those costs passed on to .... the consumer? Or is the employer expected to eat that extra expense? Maybe short term, not long.
Only 7% of the workforce in the nation belongs to a union. That is an insignificant voting block and can be ignored. The recall will FAIL once the people sober up.
The rules they passed it under shows that this has nothing to do with the budget nor any fiscal impact whatsoever, otherwise they could not pass it without the quorum.
Not true.. They couldnt pass the bill if it had an impact on current budgets but it doesnt.. Everyone acknowledges this COULD impact future budgets which is why the left wing is going crazy over it.. If it didnt impact future budgets, there would be no protesting going on..

Because they have had some entitlements cut from their stretched out I deserve it hands! They now have to add to their pensions etc and they dont like it! Damn it they deserve the taxpayers to pay for their everythings!

Thanks for making my case...lol
You mean like those red states like Texas which has higher scores, or blue states like South Carolina, which have scores in the 30's and 20's? You call that a success?
