Teachers Leave Classrooms for Picket Lines
We have heard of the “rising tide of mediocrity” and the “stagnation” of our educational system. The striking teachers, who are on the front lines of this mediocrity, are asking for more money. They do not deserve it; what they deserve is to be fired and replaced by persons who are highly trained and able to elevate the level of education in this country. Those people will deserve more money.
