The Door To Education

Public schools closing again
  Teachers abandon the halls

Slamming the door on education
  Mayor, just fire them all

I agree! And I used to teach in Chicago.

Gotta show these Commies that we mean business. Unfortunately, the Mayor and the rest of 'em are quasi-Commies... btw a statue of Vladimir Lenin stands in Fenmore Park, Seattle. All other statues -- Lincoln, Jefferson, etc. -- in the city have toppled. Anyone see a problem there?! ~ Grrrrrrrr

You rehire ones that love children. It has been done in history. Teachers are replaceable all year. Long. Stay home, hide in your closet? Good one. Gershon. Pangie

Gotta change the word 'Please' to 'Just' -- Just fire them all. Thanks, Pangie

Sad truth Gershon. The decision makers seem to have gone mad. Bill

Then dismantle the schools, and move to a voucher system for education. Watch the vast majority of the kids respond, and the drop-outs decline.

Worked out well with air traffic control.

Exactly my sentiments! Fire them all! Then dismantle the failing schools.

Nothing else can be done. Here too the recently opened schools are going to be closed down. As a teacher, I feel sorry for the future generation ! Indeed crazy times.

You know what, Valsa? These teachers can be fired summarily. Ronald Reagan fired thousands of air traffic controllers in 1981. They too thought they were beyond the law. Every one was replace in a matter of weeks, and the country understood that the President meant business. Time to see the same action from our Mayors. Fire them all.
