"...25-years and retire..."
well, they can teach for fewer years than that and retire...but the retirement will be quite limited, as it is based on how much they contributed during those years. this has been explained before, so why the disinformation? suggestions of gravy train are ridiculous and annoying.
"...teachers giving back anything they've negotiated..."
during the private sector bubble, teachers didn't "get anything" to give back. while contractors, salespersons, real estate agents, construction workers, bankers, etc. made big bucks, teacher salaries lost to inflation. so what's to give back? teachers didn't get anything from the bubble.
"...charter school..."
studies show charter schools are not better than public schools. oh, except those studies by charter-advocate think tanks, the nonpeer-reviewed kind. sure, there are some good charter schools--it depends on the teachers, not the charter.
as kenneth galbraith says, public education is under attack by market fundamentalists. the intent is to transform another public good into a private profit. the neoliberal and market fundamentalist a@@holes who blew-up the global economy are using disaster tactics to kill the public sector.
elitists cheer such bloodshed.
answers rest within high-functioning scandinavian countries--see oecd reports. |
