Comments for Teacher union: Pastorek must go at http://www.theind.com , comment 1 to 3 out of 3 comments http://www.theind.com Sun, 19 May 2013 16:14:21 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://www.theind.com/home/4728#comment-2037 Mr. Pastorek can kiss his job goodbye. If the union wants you out, you're out. No one in this state, not a legislator anyway, will be brave enough to risk that many votes. I believe he inherited a systemically rotten program, but hey, he's getting the big bucks. I'd love to see some of his "superiors" hung out to dry also. This union calls to mind stories of the unions in New Jersey, without the physical attacks. And as to the remarks above, I've known many a**es in a host of professions including doctors, clergy, oil field barrons, yard men, lumber yard supervisors, cabbies, lobbyists, politicians and many, many in the education profession! - Myrick6 Tue, 28 Jul 2009 09:06:31 +0100 http://www.theind.com/home/4728#comment-2036 All of this whining from the people who have kept our education ranking one of the worst in the nation. - Solutions?

However, if there is a single orgqanization in the United States that has adversely impacted the education of children it is the teacher unions. The LEA s worse than useless, it is concerned only with the dues of its members and may incidentally support a raise since it means more members. The LEA has NO standing in a discussion of improving education. Look at their track record... - J E Sanders Mon, 27 Jul 2009 11:11:41 +0100
