stan teachers unions
and reminder that the opportunity cost of a few days’ strike is far outweighed by teachers being overworked to the bone without adequate compensation or psychological support, resulting in the best teachers weeding themselves out of the field altogether. anti-union sentiment is hurting kids.
My dad has told me multiple times “teachers unions are the worst thing that has happened to teachers.”
Someone very close to me is a teacher and I don’t think I’ll be able to stand hearing him say it again.
thats so enraging im so sorry
We generally find that the preponderance of empirical evidence suggests that teacher unionization and union strength are associated with increases in district expenditures and teacher salaries, particularly salaries for experienced teachers. Cowen and Strunk
Autodidact here. If one has drive, and a >20Mb internet connection and even a ten year old computer, one can teach oneself Mechanical Drafting, Excel & Access (or other spreadsheet & relational database, like libre office suite). Here is my advice to any driven young person, like 16 with a car.
I went with finishing public HS till 18, instead of jumping out with a GED or HiSET at 16, getting an apprenticeship (mechanical drafting) & doing that put me 2 years behind the ones that did this, and like AI, those are two important years, like the Pink Floyd song, Time…
And then one day you find
Two years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun
