So, again, when faced with the aggregated research (that bears Stossel out completely), we are expected to believe that he is wrong and the unions are right because of a single example that suffers from the classic post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy?
Be serious!
The Chicago teachers strike is over, but the public didn't win. Schools will still transfer bad teachers to other schools because it's nearly impossible to fire them. When bad teachers go from school to school, principals call it "the dance of the lemons." It would be funny if those teachers didn't slowly wreck children's lives.
The basic issue is: Who decides how to manage a workplace? Unions say it's good that they protect American workers from arbitrary dismissal and make sure everyone is treated equally.
But it's not good.
Rules that "protect" government workers from arbitrary dismissal and require everyone...
I never said national rates don't matter, I said compare rates of teachers to people in Chicago of the same income level for a better comparison.
Please cite #s for the decline.
You could be called bluster4usall. You talk a lot but prove nothing.
NO ONE is stupid enough to fall for the completely disconnected from reality lie that there has been no decline (when it is WELL documented).
You have chosen option C - but it is ALL of the above.
Stop embarrassing yourself.
It is the best report we have.
I do not see anything wrong in the report.
There has been no decline over the 50 years.
So, again, which is it: dishonesty or stupidity?
