Our schools are much closer to being like a madras (sp?) then most folks realize.
I am not a knuckle-dragging, Limbaugh-loving, whatever simplistic categorization one might be incline to use.
I don't think politics, in and of themselves are going to solve our problems. But the NEA/CTA/etc are tacit wings of the left-leaning segment of the democratic party. Its about 85/15 the ratio at the 9 colleges were I have worked.

Thanks for being honest SJH. My opinions are based on my experiences as well, but from the perspective of a parent. Tonk- are you a parent, or a teacher, or both, or neither?
SJH- in a related subject, what do you know about this weeks teachers protest in Sacramento? I heard that the CHP booted them out of the capitol building so they couldn't trash it like the union criminals did in Wisconsin. If so then I have to give kudos to Gov. Brown for standing up to them.
