I think everyone should stand up for what they believe in. And that's exactly what the teachers are doing. They've agreed to everything but giving up collective bargaining. They want their voice heard which isn't a bad thing. Don't you want your voice heard too. And I think it's a great lesson for the kids.
You don't need collective bargaining to make your voice heard.
You need collective bargaining to steal more money from taxpayers.
So many ex-teachers are unemployed in New York, California, Michigan..You should fire them Wisc teachers to hire these unemployed teachers (and without unions)
I have been watching the media reports and specially the images where teachers are signing papers/doctors forms stating they have something that makes them not able to teach.
On top of that if you see the signs and language on the signs...how on earth can that be an example for our students?
I know for sure if it would be the other way around the students would be at suspended for using this language!
We should all ask the people in charge to do what Ronald Reagan did back in the days and every one who doesn't show up in class to teach...fire them!
that will solve the unemployment rate faster...
Why can't you take PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY for your OWN children's education instead of shoving it all on the backs of people you hate and have no respect for????

if I could get out of paying the state school tax completely, then I would homeschool.

So, even though you believe your children are getting a substandard education and you could do a better job by homeschooling, you continue to send them to public schools because you can't get out of paying the state school tax? Money keeps you from acting in your children's best interests??

Well, "if" dosen't cut it. Not everyone can afford to quit their job and home school.
I pay property taxes and have done for forty years...I have no children but am smart enough to know education is a need for any country. I know taxes are the price you pay for living and expecting things in return.
How do you think teachers feel, paying, through taxes, part of their own wages?

The banksters and Wall Streeters didn't....and NO Republican minded....so I guess you are right....if you're not in a union Republicans think it's OK to steal from taxpayers and destroy the economy.
I'm pretty sure those were not the ones you were talking about, you made a blanket statement about all of the teachers.
I wonder how many people on here have called in sick to work when they weren't actually sick? I'm going to bet a majority.
And when they do, the risk getting fired for it. I know people that have been fired for calling in sick when they really weren't.

Yawn.
I'm talking about state employees in Wisconsin. Overturning collective bargaining laws is not stealing. And everyone knows it.
Stop with all the Wall Street crap. It has nothing to do with what is happening in Wisconsin. Nothing.
Just so you know, Obama has more Wall Street execs working at his White House than any president in history.
Sure, just fire them. Then try to replace them. See how many teachers are going to line up to work in WI. Oh, wait, you probably think that ANYONE can be a teacher. How hard can it be?? Sit those kids down and...just TEACH them. Good luck with that... Let me know how it works for you...
Well, with the dismal state of education these days, I'm thinking a monkey could teach our kids and do a better job.
