"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
A Case Against Teachers Unions
"The students come first. The student’s needs come first. Students’ needs and the successful delivery of an education stand as a priority far above union affiliations or paychecks. Period, end of discussion. You are not a “professional teacher” or a teacher of any sort because you get paid. You are a teacher when every day, your students get brighter, smarter, more capable, more able to understand the world around them and bend it to their wishes and dreams. Pay is a happy secondary result of being a real teacher."
