Teachers’ Union Debating Ending Homework For Students
13th March 2008
Notice that this is taking place in Britain, and that it isn’t a professional association for teachers that is having this debate, but a teachers’ union. I know that everything is unionized in Britain these days — I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that the homeless and indigent have a union (International Brotherhood of Useless and Unproductive People?) — but unions are for people who have no bargaining power as individuals because their skill sets are fungible and easily acquired. What does it tell you about teachers that they fit this category?
If you’re still not depressed, think about the fact that most American government workers are unionized. What does that tell you about the quality of our government? Hm?
