Teachers Union Thinks It Blocked Online Classes…But It Didn’t
20th October 2011
Now, perhaps you’re like me and any time you hear someone say something that so clearly dismisses anyone else’s well-being aside from their own, your brain shuts down your ears for fear that your entire faith in the basic providence of humanity would be vanquished in an angry mind-fire. So let me break this down for you. Samuels, President of a union of teachers, is saying that they’ll block online courses regardless of any evidence as to their efficacy if it results in even oneless lecturer on campus. Learning? Rising costs in education for students? Technological progress? Unimportant, fools! This is where I think back to the union leaders of old, who pushed for social reforms effecting those outside their union members, and wonder where it all went wrong.
