Is It About Our Children?

Oft times over the years, teachers have expressed that they are professionals.  (By the way, I was a teacher.  I taught at all levels from pre-school through college, in public and private schools.)  Over the years teachers have told parents that they are interested in doing what is best for our children.  They are the trained professionals.

Please know that I know and am aware that there are many honest, hard working, quality teachers who want to do what is best for our children.  I am not talking about these professionals who really make a difference in the lives of their students.

However, there are those who are looking for the paycheck and the summer vacations.  And then there is my next observation professionals do not go on strike when they encounter barricades in agreements.  They do not need to join unions.

On the other hand, the teachers in this video may have told you their primary focus is in the best interests of your child, the speaker says otherwise.  Is it really about our children?

What do you think about the actions of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker?
