I find that I cannot take seriously a post as incoherent as this.

There was a remark about the best teachers being in the North. Having been through the public school system in Illinois, I have to say this is not true. Much of what I should have learned in school I learned after I left it. Either on my own or with the help of people who actually know how to teach.

As far as union versus non-union pay, I am reminded of when I applied to work for both UPS and FedEx. The non-union FedEx offered better pay. And this was before factoring in how much the union would take out of each paycheck.

I still have yet to see any benefit to being in a union.
