As one of our posters pointed out...this is very hard work and not for the meek.

Maybe the private sector IS the way to go.

2) Stop the union grab! [by Anonymous Citizen on April 30, 2007]
Unions are supposed to represent their own members only, but we've let them think they run the show for so long that they think they are both union and management! This bill is horrible public policy. It completely undermines the school board's ability to make financial decisions for the district. This bill is more evidence that Michigan should become a Right-to-Work state!

"Tenure" status is granted to a teacher after just 4 years of employment. Not ten.

That just makes what you implied worse thasn you imagined!
