Is it just me, or are teachers' unions like this one really not helping their own cause? In San Luis Obispo County, the Lucia Mar Unified Teachers Association decided that to pick a Teacher of the Year this year, like they've done for years, would somehow play into Gov. Schwarzenegger's campaign to eliminate automatic pay raises and instead reward teachers who do a good job.
So they declared all the teachers winners (and then, at a guess, sat around feeling smug about it...).
I know there are good public school teachers out there. It's just so hard sometimes to see them through the thicket of the sorts of teachers and union officials who get fawned over by the media. They are out there, right? They just don't have proper say in unions, right? Right?
Sigh.
