All else will then fall into place, such as a flourishing and inspired new generation. Do people rail against the American Medical Association or the Chamber of Commerce for pursuit of their self-interest? By an inexplicable alchemy,students do better when teachers are not resentful of their oppressed economic and professinal lives. The claim that the unions are for the "annihilation of No Child Left Behind" is palpably inaccurate. Unions have urged, for the benefit and advancement of students, certain fine-tuning of this sweeping legislation. Teachers struggling to maintain a tenuous hold on a middle'class standard of living does not constitute a threat to the "mission" of serving kids. With 200 college credits and three decades of professional experience, a teacher shouldn't have cause to worry about paying for an oil-change or an appendectomy. They should not need to live hand-to-mouth or even "check-to-check" as fruits of their dedication and expertise.
