Let me say, the NYC situation is a disgrace and should be called that. That is not the norm when it comes to the union. Most teachers I know don't love our union, especially when it defends ineptitude...That is why admins need to do a good job before giving tenure to people. That's the mistake....That being said, 50% of teachers leave within 5 years, so its not as if most stick forever.
Interesting comment from someone on that link. Not saying I agree.... chris@hotmail.com Aug 28, 2009 Put a teacher in a middle upper class classroom and they're deemed a great success. Put that same teacher in a school filled with economically disadvantage (most of DC urban area) and they are deemed a complete failure. Kids reflect their parents NOT the teachers. The greatest mistake some teachers make is that they go teach in those poor neighborhoods. They should stand up and protest by refusing to take those jobs. Maybe then society would have to look at itself in the mirror and finally approach the dysfunctional nature of poor people in a broader way than just saying "the teachers are supposed to FIX them"!
