The district will probably get a lot of their b.s. demands, in large part because the union has done such a completely shitty job presenting an alternative case. The teachers are burnt BUT not too united, and the public is listening to borderline right wing lies, over and over.
And, oh, by the way ... about THE TRUTH being complex and long ... f'ing tough. Figure out a way to make your points KISS, or lose. (see 1980, 84, 88...). Our side spends hundreds of millions every year on elections fighting the fascists - so, hire people who can do message, which equals by the way, FIRE the f'kers who can only manage excuses for losign.
Ooops! Did I mention all the idiotic policies which are part of the education world? We get logical idiotic policies from the fascists - the policies are logical in that they are unfunded clusterfucks designed to hasten a society of serfs, doormats, asswipes, cannon fodder and ass kissers. Fascist policies = ... nevermind if you need MORE explanation, I quit.
From the other end, we get a higher volume of even MORE idiotic policies from the relatively affluent highly credentialed power point & tome creating liberal nitwits who can't run a f'ing hot dog stand, never mind figure out what their ideas cost in time in the class, per student per day, AND, figure out how to pay for the ideas.
Here are some dirty little secrets about life and education. There are 6++ billion people in the world. Daily, that is a LOT of piss and shit going out 1 end and a LOT of clean water and safe food needed for the other end. That is 12 billion++ shoes for all the feet, that is a lot of roofs and doors and door hinges and screws for the hinges and light fixtures, and transportation, and education, and health care, and retirement ... AND we got billions of people living in squalor.
Unless we're going to allow epsilons to live live's of comfort, and the other 80% of us working stiffs will take care of the comfortable, (see Brave New World) NO ONE has a right to NOT contribute to keeping the community going.
The challenges is to make Factory Earth work, and to make it work so that ALL of us can spend the least amount of time on the drudgery, and the msot amount of time singing creative poetry to your actualized organic garlic pets, or getting drunk and gambling, or whatever the hell you want to fritter your free time away on.
A lot of education and lot of work is 'factory' work - the likelihood of minimizing the basic grunt work without mastery of the grunt work is zilch, so grow the fuck up, or, go sit in your car with the windows up, start the car engine and run the garden hose outta the exghaust into the passenger cabin.
