I don't think that firing the teachers is going far enough. Close down the public schools, and let those who have been leeching off of the taxpayers for so long pay for their own childrens' educations.
Mr. Walker also bristled at comments by President Barack Obama that his bill "seems like more of an assault" on unions. "When your budget is fixed, you can stick your nose in ours," Mr. Walker said. "But in the meantime, let us fix our budget the way we said we were going to."
Sad. So, all teachers are brainwashing democrats? You've never had respect for teachers and what they have to put up with?
Who taught you how to count?
Yikes, I have never run into such a bunch of whiners. All jobs have their issues. If the things teachers have to "put up with" are too much, find something else to do. Sheesh.

I did until I had to witness my parents cancel our annual family vacation due to the fact that the teachers went on a five-week strike. That selfish action sent the school-year to late June.
Those tactics showed my young mind that a good number of public school teachers could care less about their commitment to teach.

No parent will waste their hard earned money to send their child to a non-performing school. And no private school will tolerate disruptive children. And that means expulsion without refund will be a double incentive for stronger discipline, at home and at school.
The reason the United States lags behind other countries is the fact that we have so many "don't give a damn" teachers.
Come on now. You can't lay all the blame on the teachers. For every crappy teacher, there are probably 20 equally crappy parents that essentially use the public school system as free day care for their illegitimate offspring.
