>No that won't. Unions are in it for themselves. That's what they're supposed to do. They want tenure and a higher salary floor.

They're in it for their workers. And the workers vote on these issues. You think that if they were offered $20K more a year each but no tenure they wouldn't take it?

>Did you know that for nine months of work, teachers in the LA Unified School District earn over $60K/year in pay, plus no deductible health care, plus pension that lasts for life? And they also have tenure.

Ever been a teacher? It's a tough, tough job. And a very important one. That package doesn't sound so unreasonable.

>If the kids are not there to learn, then yes, kick them out.

>There are many, many kids who do want to learn, and the school has to do everything possible to create a good learning environment for them.

These are 15 year old kids we're talking about. Most of them don't really want to learn all that much. Some fall in line, some don't. But they all should be learning.

The trouble kids should be taught separately, but to have them roaming the streets at an age they should be learning is not good.
