I'm in Colorado, but I really like the state of Kansas.
The wide open sky, sunflowers and friendly people make it
a great place to visit. My daughter also got her
undergrad degree in Lindsborg, KS. She got a very good
education there.
However, my son was driving across Kansas and listening to
the local radio stations. He told me that what he heard
about NEA and teachers was hateful and scary.
I'm a member of NEA because it is easier to deal with
school boards and administrators as a group. I also would
be paid far less than the meager salary I'm getting if
there was no teacher's union. (When my mom was a teacher,
there was no union and she got paid less than a man for
the same job.) We in the union do NOT support bad
teachers. We want them gone. We didn't hire them, but
they have paid dues that entitle them to due process if
needed. We also don't push any kind of Liberal agenda.
We just want to teach.
So what is the story, Kansas? Any thoughts?
