Why We Can't Fire Incompetent Teachers

Not too mention that teaching is not exactly a popular job. Every person I know with an education degree jumped ship after only a few months teaching or never tried to get a teaching job in the first place.

You should have seen the look...

on the secretary's face as I was filling out financial info (when I was hired in Calvert)....
She says "Please sign here to have the payroll deduction for the Union."

"I'm sorry, I am not interested."

".....sir.....um...everybody is in the Union, please just sign here..."

"No thank you, is there another form or are we finished?"

"....um,...you do realize what you are doing....don't you?"

"Yes, and I am not interested in the Union."

**************I was replaced the following year by another teacher after being given 3 preps out of my licensed field and taught in 6 different classrooms in 2 different buildings.****************

Gotta love the Union. (or else)

private school teachers would unionize for the same reason that any union gets started. collective bargaining generally leads to better benefits and pay.

better, yes. but that doesn't mean we're necessarily treated better. in fact, on average a private school teacher gets paid 10-20% less than their public school counterparts. benefits are not the same either.

don't get me wrong, I love working in a private school (most of the time) but there are some misconceptions with regards to pay.
