These dastardly spawns of Satan, research has found, decrease student performance terribly... in the non-unionized schools of "Right to Work" states. To summarize the research studies on the performance of children in unionized vs. non-unionized schools:
- higher math and verbal standardized test scores in unionized schools,
- bulk of the evidence points toward higher graduation rates from unionized schools,
- solid track record of supporting policies that boost achievement for most students based on empirical measurements
Wow. I didn't know teacher's unions were so dadburned powerful. Why, next thing you know, we'll find out that they're responsible for global warming, genital herpes, and the former Presidency of George W. Bush too!

Yes, teachers unions are bad for students. They actually teach children to THINK....oh, wait, that's the last thing the Rethuglicans want the kids to be able to do.
ReplyDeleteTeacher's unions don't teach children to think, Grandpa. But they prevent teachers from being fired if they do teach children how to think... unlike the Oklahoma teacher fired for exactly that crime. Note that teacher unions are pretty much illegal (as unions, vs. as collectives for purchasing liability insurance) in Oklahoma... and it shows in their abysmal educational results.
