Title: Rhode Island School Super Fires Union Teachers
Post by: guido911 on February 16, 2010, 10:11:22 PM
In a failing school district, the superintendent wanted the teachers to work 25 extra minutes a day to help the students. The teachers union said "no", so she fired all the teachers and administrators.

QuoteApparently 50% of the students at the school are failing all of their classes, and the graduation rate is also under 50%.

QuoteUnion officials have been pushing for $90 per hour and want the district to pay for more of the additional responsibilities.

Now is it just me, or is something wrong there?
