    Americans believe teachers are underpaid, but the role of Teachers' unions isn't so cut and dry. Six out of 10 Democrats said Teachers’ unions make it harder to fire bad teachers, according to a new poll.https://usat.ly/2x5U2nP

        Ironically, if we paid teachers better, then there might not be so many “bad teachers?” 🤔

        Bad teachers are NOT the result of low pay. Bad teachers are the result of bad character. Good teachers strive for excellence b/c they are proud of their profession and love their "CALLING" despite the poor pay and legislative interference.

        They also make it harder to fire great teachers, advocate for lower class sizes, and negotiate for a decent living wage and benefits.

        While I agree that the unions help the teachers get better conditions (yay them), I also agree that there are some teachers that just seem to be in it simply to be in it, without any actual knowledge of the subject or desire to teach.

        Even 60% of Democrats see that unions are bad for children. Teachers need to mobilize a march against the union and stop paying to protect bad teachers.

        TRUE! So TRUE! One teacher in our middle school threatened to shoot her students and the School Board simply moved concerned students out of her classroom. Another teacher had numerous complaints by half the class (parents) and she remained until the end of school year.

        Unions make working & learning conditions better. They keep unscrupulous school boards from firing teachers just because they are higher up on the pay scale. They require due process & evidence in order to fire a bad teacher.

        NOT TRUE. The Union legal team conspires w/school administrators 2 create FALSE REPORTS maligning the student & parents when they file a complaint in good faith! The teachers are then encouraged to isolate & humiliate the student until the family leaves. Unions R TOXIC.
