Three hundred seventy-seven million dollars.
That's how much money the NEA collected, $355 million of it from teachers' pockets. That doesn't include the dues that the AFT collected.
And then our members of Congress voted in an $8,000,000,000 bailout for them.
My sympathy to the teachers. It would be nice if they actually ever saw one drop of that money. It will soak into the education industry like water on the desert sand--it will vanish into the sand and never be seen again, nothing will change, nothing will improve, and they'll be back asking for more, with tears in their eyes and stories about charming and wishful little minority children (see beautiful photos of same, which will be attached to their story) who just aren't getting taught because the schools just don't have enough money.
I said "my sympathy to the teachers" but it only goes so far. While I want to see them make a living while teaching, I am sick up to here with their phony professionalism and their phony colleges of education and their phony post-graduate degrees and their week-long workshops on how to blame the kids for not learning. And by that I mean their phony issues of dyslexia, dyscalculae, ADHD, parents are bad, kids need a full breakfast, lunch, and dinner or they can't learn, twenty student limit, parents are fools, it's anything and everything but us.
