Awesomeness won thru collective bargainingThe Madison Emeritus Program. In addition to their pension payouts, retired Madison public school teachers receive annual payments of at least $9,884.18 per year for enrolling in the Emeritus Program, which requires ZERO days of work.When this program began, 20 days of work per year were required. Through collective bargaining, the union successfully negotiated this down to zero days.http://www.madisonteachers.org/Forms-Intra...ers%2009-10.pdf

http://www.cato.org/pubs/pas/pa662.pdf - Page 11You do realize Chicago Public schools arent underfunded?Those poor kids just aren't getting any attention or money

Because doubling spending since 1970 on education has improved our scores?

It would be nice to have a choice in how my "tax' dollars were spent on education. I would love to "opt" out and use them for private school. I will move out of Chicago long before I send my kids thru that awful public school system

good points - I believe adjusted for inflation, we have double our spend on education since 1970 without academic results improving, so there is a problem and it starts with accountability.(home & at school)

This has been a big problem and I hope the GOP has turned the corner on thi, otherwise they will have huge problems moving forward with their base

my point is the public sector unions are growing and the bigger they get - the more power they have over tax dollars

our poor have no idea what it is like to be poor....
