Wisconsin is busting public employee unions not private unions. When you have public union workers 'bargaining' with union backed politicians there is more stealing than bargaining going on and the private tax payer is on the hook. There is no motivation to cut but rather grow. There is no production just consumption. Government should hire private companies willing to bid on everything from education to janitorial work. Walker is a hero to his constituents now. He wasn't going to ever win your type over anyway. So refreshing to see a politician follow thru on promises.

![]() The nice thing is, and a few of the teachers will realize this now, the lack of collective bargaining leaves a spot open for individual bargaining. No longer will good teachers (a rare and amazing thing in this world) be lumped in with those that wound up teaching. They will be able to shine and be properly rewarded based on their merits and not those, or lack thereof, around them. Good employees want NOTHING to do with unions. Not anymore.

![]() Good people for sure. I hold nothing personal against the group. I remember the good teachers from my education, of the many that I have had, very few stick out as good. Those that do are a rare breed. A great teacher is not common despite what people might want to believe. Greatness is not more common in a noble profession just because it is noble. It is an art.

![]() Bad schools are the norm in this country, period. Money does not make a school any better, ask Newark, NJ, worst and most expensive. Good teachers are not common, great teachers are very rare. It must be nice to have gone to a school that promotes that type of thinking, I did not, I doubt most Americans had that opportunity. I know where I come from, this is not the case at all. My Kindergarten teacher was excellent, by the way.
