It does suck but when you have a scumbag union like the NJEA that creates this problem what are you supposed to do? "But think about the kids" only goes so far when a union like them strong arms taxpayer $$$ for ridiculous things. The party is over for them, if they were more tolerant and open to compromise then this would be a non-issue. A union that protects a very important part of our society can easily coexist with government and tax payers...but unfortunately they don't want to play ball so now the proverbial hatchet is being swung. Again, unfortunately the GOOD and new teachers get ****ed.
