I didn't know how to put my teaching problems into words as I did not know what was wrong. Then I found your articles on teachers.net and your book. And you said "steal!"
Loose Lips Sink Ships
Things That Can Get Educators in Legal Hot Water
By Susan FitzellRemember those World War II posters that warned, "Loose Lips Sink Ships"? Well, that dire wisdom is just as urgent today. It is possible that a comment ingenuously made in the faculty room, in an email, during an IEP meeting or a phone call can cause a teacher embarrassment, at best, or a district to become embroiled in a lawsuit, at worst. Caution to be professional at all times as well as ever mindful of confidentiality laws has always been a top priority of school districts. However, in our digital age, this issue has taken on a new meaning and has escalated caution to another level....

Education and Teacher Unions - Why the Hate?
By Alan Haskvitz
The news is full of articles expressing hate for teacher unions.

Indeed some states, called Right to Work States, have even made it nearly impossible for unions to get a foothold.
