The unions that is….
They are so very powerful.
Unions protect the teachers...
The best of them and the lowest of the low.
As much as people don't want to admit it....
There just are some bad teachers.
Well, you've got to read this....
"BOSTON — Critics who say unions block education reforms and make it virtually impossible to fire bad teachers will offer 10 instructors it deems the nation's worst $10,000 to quit their careers."
"The Center for Union Facts, a Washington-based nonprofit, will launch a campaign Tuesday spending $1 million on ads and a billboard in New York's Times Square. It also says it's starting a Web site with data documenting how far unions go to protect bad teachers."
"It's also inviting nominations for a contest to determine the nation's worst unionized teachers. The "winners" will be offered $10,000 each if they permanently resign or retire from any career in education — if they sign a release agreeing to have their name and the reasons for their selection published by the group."

If it will help get rid of those teachers who don't want to teach...
Why not?
It would take more money than $10, 000 though for the "incentive."
They're forgetting about the great benefits teachers receive.
