What do you think the boards are gunna do: reduce their pay, or fire a bunch of expendable teachers?
I think that teachers need to take a more private sector approach to benifits, no doubt. And BOE members and superintendents need to have their pay levels reworked.
But this does none of that. This gets rid of teachers, and not reduce pay levels. Sure, you will get some to budge.
Tell me if you are in their shoes, would you cut your pay in a tough economic times? Or would you just get rid of a few new teachers. Whats the real difference between 30 kids to a class or 40 kids to a class? Is music that important? Do we need to offer Italian or French or even Spanish in schools?
