Yup! In this day (2012), the teachers' unions are nothing but political arms of the left. Not only are they not needed but they are detrimental to education. However, back in the late 60's when it became legal for teachers here in NYS to bargain with their employers, theunion was instrumental in helping teachers improve their lot in life. But now-they are just political organizations.
But, over the years I have found that people who attack teachers have no clue about what a teacher's job involves. And, I've also learned that vocal critics of teachers (like you, Jay) would NEVER have been successful in the classroom! You wouldn't have made it through a full day without hiding under your desk and crying for someone to rescue you.
I've worked on farms, piled green lumber off the tail of a large saw mill, worked for a veterinarian and stocked shelves and bagged groceries in a supermarket at night to get through college. So how do I know about what it's like to be a teacher? I'll let you figure it out if you can, without the help of a teacher!

Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
