Teacher said - "Because you should see the WASTE of money in the school system that I see first hand every day. They do not need more of our hard earned money. They need to do a MUCH better job of managing and cutting costs."

and

"I am a teacher, a union member"

So how come YOUR union keeps telling us that the schools need more money?

Doesn't YOUR union know what is going on in the schools?

Do you as teachers and dues paying union members not tell YOUR union that they should be getting the school system to stop wasting money rather than wasting YOUR union dues on things like advertising for more taxes????

What are YOU doing to get YOUR union to get the school system to stop wasting?

It is YOUR union, are there not enough people that think like you to do anything about it?

If there aren't then "John" isn't really stereotyping, is he?

Seems to me you should be looking at yourselves and your union.

Oh, and it is "firsthand" or "first-hand", not "first hand". Just saying, for a teacher you're not nearly as smart .....
