So, will autoworkers in foreign brand car plants in US select UAW for representation when card check is implemented by Congress and Obama? Or, will they instead select Teamsters or some other?

She is tired of K-3rd grade kids kicking, spitting and punching her with no recourse allowed. The principle's hands are tied and parents do nothing. I'd knock the little suckers across the room and end up in jail. I could not be a teacher in our public school system today. When I entered grade school in the mid-60's we were afraid to poke fun at our teachers. And this is what we've come to? I think that insecurity is driving kids that won't shut up and let teachers teach. I think the UAW is insecure, too, enough so that they don't mind helping to bankrupt the Company that employs them. Really, that is an example of a huge consolidization that is out of control and one that has passed by their usefulness to theirselves, their Company and to society in general. It starts with moronic kids like in the quote above.

"I have a close friend that is a teacher and is in their union. I learned long ago not to talk to her about unions and someone who has tenure" That is another problem...TENURE...the word, and the concept, should be removed from our lexicon...why should ANYONE be guaranteed employment simply because they have managed not to get fired in the last 5 years???...tenure for teachers, just like seniority for UAW folks, has led to the worst wave of mediocrity in the last 50 years... If I had children, and I don't, they would NEVER see the inside of a public school...I KNOW there are good, dedicated teachers in the public system, and they, too, must fight the system to try and teach the kids...but the system is biased aginst them...can only teach as fast as the slowest kid in class, even tho that kid belongs in the "slow class"...but Mommy and Daddy want to "mainstream" the kid, even tho his abilities are inferior...so, the system bends to the minority and screws the majority of the class, who get bored because of the slow pace due to the class idiot...plus, they cannot teach excellence in class, because that implies winners and losers...so every kid gets an award, or games are played so nobody loses...until they get hit by real life, then their (artificial) self-esteem gets shattered in an instant, because they actually find out what it means to LOSE... When I went to school, there were three "levels", called "tracking" I believe...you had the Honors kids (brilliant) the Regular kids (average to smart) and the Slower kids (often called the Dumb class)...to think of putting a Dumb kid in Honors would be suicide, but it seems that if Mommy wants her stupid, worthless idiot in Honors, it almost seems that the school does not say no, so everybody suffers...then, if her dumb kid cannot perform and fails, she screams "discrimination" when the problem is "stupidity"... Those kids who grow up in school without discipline are doomed in the real world, so they have no idea how to respond when someone says "No!"...they become the psychological cases who need constant therapy, simply because their world never heard the word NO... |

Replying to: marsha7 (Jan 15, 2009 7:11 pm) Marsha, if you get kids, take them to India. The education system there is less public and more private. It is extremely competitive and the grades(actual numbers, not A, B, C or F) you earn are spoken out aloud in the class when you get your paper back. A kid knows where he stands in the class, and others also know where you stand in the class. |
