I suspect that many of those defending the government school bureaucracy are one of those bureaucrats or are close financially to someone who is. Lebanon, Oregon average teacher pay + bennies is over $75K per year...a 154 work days year. (free medical, dental, vision care for teacher & entire family, plus PERS retirement. In case of teachers married to each other, one adds the cost of the medical bennies to his or her retirement account)
Where did I get these stats? Ron, that was a school board member who was here last night when you called. Even though our daughter is out of school, Cindy & I remain interested...
The teacher's union doesn't like it when parents object to their political and values indoctrination techniques. This is child abuse in the classroom. Kids talk, parents catch on, then object. Oh, but I forgot, the line is that parents don't care...
